The Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Thursday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying that social reformers Lokmanya Tilak and Gopal Krishna Gokhale was born in Pune.

Modi, who was in Pune on Tuesday to lay the foundation stone of Pune Metro phase III, said during his speech that the city was the 'janmabhoomi' (birthplace) of these two leaders.

Targeting the PM over his statement, MPCC spokesperson Sachin Sawant said, "Those who forget history can never create a future."
