BJP upset over UPA boycott of Savarkar event

Author: PTI
Publication: The Times of India
Date: May 29, 2005

BJP on Saturday took exception to the absence of Congress and UPA leaders at a function in Parliament House to pay tribute to freedom fighter and Sangh Parivar icon Veer Savarkar on his 122nd birth anniversary.

Protesting against their absence, BJP spokesperson Sushma Swaraj claimed Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had promised to attend the ceremony but did not turn up though his staff did.

Attributing Azad's decision to "directions" from party higher-ups, she said, "the minister has to rise above party politics".
