Eknath Shinde changes profile pictures to Savarkar on social media

In an apparent gesture of support for Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde on Monday updated his social media accounts and placed Savarkar's pictures on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as profile pictures. The gesture came amid an ongoing controversy that erupted after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, "My name isn't Savarkar. I'm a Gandhi. I won't apologise."
