Hindustan Times Thane
|October 02, 2025
Bharatiya Janata Party leader and the head of the party's minority wing, Jamal Siddiqui, has written to President Droupadi Murmu, asking her to consider conferring India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna on Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which is celebrating its centenary.
Referring to Hedgewar as “a great freedom fighter and the architect of nation-building,” Siddiqui said that by honouring him India would not only acknowledge his “invaluable contribution” but will also instill the ideals of nationalism among the youth.
