Savarkar wrote letter as he knew British won't free him: Fadnavis

Talking about Veer Savarkar, Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis said, "Savarkar wrote a letter because he knew...the British won't release him." "So [Savarkar] wrote, 'Don't release me but release other prisoners who did nothing against you'," he added. "Mahatma Gandhi [later] told Savarkar...he should...tell the British that you released them, release me too," he stated.
