Fadnavis supports Aurangzeb’s demand for removal of grave: It will have to be done under the purview of the law, ASI was kept under protection during the Congress rule

Fadnavis said- Aurangzeb’s tomb is a protected site.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis supported the demand for the removal of the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb from Khulabad in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.

The Chief Minister said- We all want the same, but you have to do it under the purview of law, because it is a protected place. A few years ago, during the Congress rule, the site was kept under the patronage of ASI.

In fact, BJP’s Satara MP Udayanraje Bhosle, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, demanded that the Aurangzeb grave be demolished. He said what is needed. Sending a JCB machine and dropped his grave, he was a thief and a robber.

He had said that people who pay tribute to Aurangzeb’s grave can be his future. They should take that grave to their home, but Aurangzeb’s glorification will no longer be tolerated.

He had demanded that strict action should be taken against those who made wrong statements about Shahaji Chhatrapati Maharaj, Rajmata brother -in -law Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

Know what is the whole controversy …

3 March 2025: Aurangzeb built many temples, he is not a cruel ruler On March 3, Azmi said- we are being shown wrong history. Aurangzeb has built many temples. I do not consider him a cruel ruler. Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb had a fight for power and property, not religious. If someone says that this fight was with Hindus and Muslims, then I do not believe it.

March 4, 2025: My words were distorted, I withdraw the statement After the controversy over the statement, Azmi said- my words are shown by distorting. But still I have been hurt by my words, so I withdraw my words, my statement. I have said what historians and writers have written. I have not made any derogatory remarks about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Sambhaji Maharaj or any other great man.

BJP-Shiv Sena MLAs demonstrated in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly two days ago against Azmi’s statement.

Abu Azmi had said when the dispute escalated- do not give it Hindu-Muslim angle As the dispute escalated, Abu Azmi had said- Aurangzeb also destroyed mosques along with temples. If he had been against Hindus, 34% Hindus would not have been with him. During his reign, India was called a golden bird. It should not be seen from Hindu-Muslim angle.

The SP MLA had further said- Aurangzeb ruled 52 years and if he had really converted Hindus into Muslims, then imagine how many Hindus would have changed. When Mangal Pandey started the fight in the 1857 rebellion, it was first supported by Muslim Bahadur Shah Zafar.

At the same time, Deputy CM Eknath Shinde had opposed the statement and said that Abu Azmi should be tried for treason.

Who is Abu Azmi Abu Azmi is a resident of Azamgarh in UP. He is an SP MLA in Maharashtra. In the last election, Abu Azmi won the Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar seat in Maharashtra. In 1995, the SP won 2 seats by Abu Azmi’s leadership. In 2004, Abu Azmi contested the assembly elections for the first time but suffered defeat. Abu, who was a Rajya Sabha member from SP from 2002 to 2008, contested the Lok Sabha elections in 2009 and lost to Gurudas Kamat of the Congress Party. Between 2009 and 2024, Abu Mankhurd has won 3 times from Shivaji Nagar.
