Addressing a press conference in Delhi over his disqualification, Rahul Gandhi said, "My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone".Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut echoed his party chief and said, "It is a wrong statement. He's definitely a Gandhi but no need to drag Savarkar."
