AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi lashed out at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for demanding Bharat Ratna to the formulator of Hindutva philosophy VD Damodar Savarkar.

"If Savarkar is given Bharat Ratna, Why not the Godse have it," said Owaisi in an interview. "Nathuram Godse and others were found guilty in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
