Amid Aurangzeb controversy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has once again made a big statement. He clearly stated that people should like the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb or not, their grave is a protected monument, but they will not be allowed to be glorified. Talking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis said that the structures outside the purview of the law should be removed. He said, “We should not like Aurangzeb or not, their grave is a protected monument. We will not let anyone glorify them.”
Let us tell you that the right -wing organization Chhatrapati is demanding the removal of the tomb of the 17th century Mughal ruler in Khultabad town of Sambhajinagar district. Earlier this month, violence erupted due to rumors of burning a sheet with sacred inscriptions during the protests demanding the removal of the tomb in Nagpur. At the same time, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday condemned efforts to incite communal tension about Aurangzeb’s grave and said that history should not be seen from the glasses of caste and religion. He asked people not to depend on the messages coming on WhatsApp for information related to history.
Addressing the annual Gudi Padwa rally at Shivaji Park here, Thackeray said that the Mughal ruler wanted to kill “an idea and that is Shivaji” but failed. He said that Afzal Khan, the commander of Bijapur, was buried near Pratapgarh Fort and it was not possible without the permission of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Thackeray urged the people not to get upset and not to be distracted, saying that socio-political conditions were different before Shivaji and in the later ages of Shivaji.
