Congress MLC Opposes Savarkar's Portrait At UP Assembly

Fresh contentions brewed following the installation of V.D Savarkar's portrait alongside the pictures of freedom fighters at Uttar Pradesh Assembly's main gate. Congress MLC Deepak Singh contested the move by penning a letter to UP Legislative Council chairman Ram Naresh Yadav. Calling the move an "insult" to freedom fighters, Singh necessitated the portrait's transfer to BJP office. Acknowledging the matter, Chairman Yadav has sought explanations from the concerned officials.
