The Daily Guardian
|August 31, 2024
Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi, PM says "people keep abusing Veer Savarkar, but are not ready to apologise for insulting him".
-
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he bow his head and apologise to the people of Maharashtra who were hurt by the collapse of the Shivaji statue at Sindhudurg.
While addressing a gathering at Malvan in Maharashtra's Palghar district, the Prime Minister also criticised the Opposition for not being apologetic as he extended his apologies for the incident.
"Those who consider Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as their deity and have been deeply hurt, I bow my head and apologise to them. Our values are different. For us, nothing is bigger than our deity," PM Modi said.
A 35-foot-tall statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the state's Sindhudurg district collapsed on August 26.
The Prime Minister further targeted the Opposition for "insulting and abusing the son of the land" Veer Savarkar while adding that his "values" are different.

It has been said that to see beauty, the soul must become beautiful, and to understand the divine, it must become divine. This is a universal principle valid in both, science and spirituality. To perceive the subtle, the instrument of perception must itself become subtle. In science, this means refining external tools and methods; in spirituality, it means refining the inner instrument — the mind — through purity, focus, and meditation.
