He was arrested in 1909 for plotting an armed revolt against the Morle-Minto reform, and in 1911, he was sentenced to two life sentences in the cellular jail of Andamans.
Savarkar was released from jail in 1924 under the conditions that he will not participate in politics for five years. (ANI)

If there is a crisis of energy, then by when the government plans to resolve it should also be clarified to the people, especially to the common man," he said.
