“Comparison of prison cells – while Gandhi and Nehru got VIP facilities, Savarkar got none”
What FACTLY found
The posted pictures are true [Cellular Jail (Savarkar between 1911-21), Ahmednagar Fort Jail (Nehru between 1942-45), and Aga Khan Palace (Gandhi between 1942-44)]. However, the comparison of prison cells made in the post is misleading. Savarkar was moved to the Cellular jail as he attempted an escape and was sentenced to 50 years in prison (two life terms). But Nehru and Gandhi did not receive any such sentence, they were only arrested in connection with the Quit India movement
