'CorruptionRaj' Guru!



The over two centuries old wada in Rajgurunagar in Khed, where the freedom fighter was born and lived for 10 years afterwards, is in controversy. I was yesterday at the site of this old wada where one of the illustrious martyrs of India was born. It is unimaginable that it was used for misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs 70 lakh. This is the inside view of the birthroom of Shiram Hari Rajguru, who along with Shahid Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev sacrificed his live for the motherland.

It is a telling commentary on how low we as a society have gone. there more appalling pictures from Rajgurunagar. I will post them tomorrow.
