Africa-Press – Mauritius. After Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s statue, the bust of freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar — also known as Veer Savarkar — will be unveiled in the port Luis capital city Mauritius on May 28, Savarkar’s birth anniversary.
Maharashtra PWD minister Ravindra Chavan will attend the programme which will be graced by Prithviraj Singh Rupan, President of Mauritius, and Leladevi Dookun-Luchoomun, the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to the PWD minister’s office, many Savarkar followers from different states of India will also remain present for the function. This is the second-consecutive function where two icons of Maharashtra from different eras are being honoured by Mauritius.
Earlier, in April, a 13-feet-tall statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was unveiled by deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis on the premises of Maharashtra Bhavan.
The latest function will mark the beginning of ‘Veer Savarkar Global Summit’ with the aim to spread the work, literature and thoughts of the freedom fighter.
