Mukherjee made no mention of Hedgewar & Savarkar's views on

Former VHP leader Pravin Togadia today said former President and Congress veteran Pranab Mukherjee did not talk about the views of RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar on nationalism during his address at the RSS headquarters yesterday.

"Mukherjee mentioned about the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru on nationalism during his speech yesterday. But he made no mention of Hedgewar and Savarkar's views on nationalism," Togadia told reporters at the Indore Press Club.

"There are two ideologies on nationalism in the country- first propagated by Gandhi and Nehru, while the other one that of Hedgewar and Savarkar," he added.

He demanded that the Centre should pass a law in the Parliament to pave the way for construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The Ayodhya issue is still pending in the Supreme Court. Taking a dig at BJP veteran L K Advani over this, Togadia said, "Was this case not under the Supreme Court's consideration when Advani had taken out the rath yatra? Then why did he take out rath yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya?
