将Bharat Ratna授予Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, 将提升荣誉威望, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said awarding the Bharat Ratna to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar would elevate the honor’s prestige, reigniting political debate. 在孟买发言时,他对授予该奖的拖延表示关切,尽管他澄清说自己不在甄选委员会。 Speaking in Mumbai, he expressed concern over the delay in conferring the award, though he clarified he is not on the selection committee. 英国人民党(BJP)和Shiv Sena(Shiv Sena)以萨瓦尔卡尔在自由斗争中的作用为例支持这一举动,而国会则反对这一举动,批评他过去向英国当局提出的仁慈请愿。 The BJP and Shiv Sena support the move, citing Savarkar’s role in the freedom struggle, while the Congress opposes it, criticizing his past mercy petitions to British authorities. Bhagwat还强调RSS注重价值观而不是积极活动,劝阻过度宣传,并申明英文虽然可能实用使用,但不会成为该组织的首要语言。 Bhagwat also emphasized the RSS’s focus on values over activism, discouraged excessive publicity, and affirmed English would not become the organization’s primary language, though it may be used pragmatically.
