BJP vs Muslim League: ‘Don’t provoke us,’ Rajeev Chandrasekhar warns IUML over Savarkar row

The BJP has warned the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) against provoking the party over the suspension of a teacher in Kerala following a controversial question on Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar. BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar stated that the IUML should not interfere in matters concerning Savarkar, whom he called "an important part of India's freedom struggle."

The controversy began after a school-level quiz questioned Savarkar as the freedom fighter who received the maximum punishment at the hands of the British, leading to the suspension of the teacher who prepared the questionnaire.
