Citing historian Shamsul Islam, the article further alleged that Veer Savarkar betrayed India and sided with the British during the Quit India movement of 1942. He also blamed Veer Savarkar for being the first proponent of the Two-nation Theory, a move he claimed led to the adoption of the same by Muhammed Ali Jinnah. The author further attempted to hold the freedom fighter responsible for conversions, Hindu nationalism and accused him of justifying Hindu separatism. The article also insinuated that Veer Savarkar was involved in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. The author had also claimed that the Father of Hindutva was a marginal political figure who was mainstreamed by BJP in 2003. He further claimed that no freedom fighter other than Veer Savarkar ‘surrendered or submitted to the British’.

It must be mentioned that Veer Savarkar was handed two life sentences of 25 years each for his revolutionary activities. Titled ‘A lamb, lionised’, the article gave a false impression to the readers that Veer Savarkar was a ‘meek’ lamb whose reputation had been somehow uplifted to match the prowess of a lion by the BJP government at the Centre.
