Lucknow: The Congress and the Samajwadi Party have remonstrated against a portrait of Hindu ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar at the Vidhan Parishad Picture Gallery that was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday.
In a letter to Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council chairman Ramesh Yadav, Congress MLC Deepak Singh sought immediate removal of Veer Savarkar s photo from the gallery.
