Ananth Kumar Hegde Remarks

Hegde had questioned the freedom movement led by Gandhi, saying it was an "adjustment" with the British, remarks which triggered a huge political row

Fadnavis has rejected Hegde's remarks as false.

Hegde said that he held the country, the Constitution and its architect B R Ambedkar in high esteem and there was no question of showing disrespect to them

After an intense face-off, the government told the Rajya Sabha that Modi never questioned his predecessor Manmohan Singh's integrity and commitment to the nation
