Claim: Amit Shah has said that Veer Savarkar participated in the 1857 revolt.
Fact-check: Amit Shah has not commented that Veer Savarkar participated in the 1857 revolt - FACTLY
Verdict: in a speech at varanasi, amit shah said, "had it not been for veer savarkar, the rebellion of 1857 would not have become history, we would have seen it from the point of view of britishers. veer savarkar was the one who named the 1857 rebellion as the first independence struggle". amit shah has not said in his speech that savarkar participated in the 1857 revolt. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
