Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday denied having the knowledge of the “Veer Savarkar Award,” which was to be presented on Wednesday.

Tharoor said that he was not aware of such an award.

In a post on X, Tharoor said, “I have come to know from media reports that I have been named a recipient of the “Veer Savarkar Award,” which is to be presented today in Delhi. I only learned about this announcement yesterday in Kerala, where I had gone to vote in the local self-government elections. There in Thiruvananthapuram, responding to media queries, I had clarified that I was neither aware of, nor had accepted, such an award and it was irresponsible on the part of the organisers to announce my name without my having agreed to receive it.”
