He further said, "Don't play politics solely in the name of Veer Savarkar. We will appeal to the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mohan Bhagwat ji, you are the eldest among us. You are the leader of Hindus. You should at least warn the government to award Veer Savarkar the Bharat Ratna within 15 days."
