Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid his tribute to Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru on the death anniversary of India's first prime minister during his Mann Ki Baat address.
He also paid his tribute to Veer Savarkar saying that it was Savarkar who called the 1857 sepoy mutiny the First War of Independence.
"The month of May is associated with a historic event in 1857. While many preferred to call it only a Mutiny or a Sepoy Mutiny, it was Veer Savarkar who called it the First War of Independence. I pay my tributes to the great Veer Savarkar," he said.
