New Delhi:
In Maharashtra, Samajwadi Party President and MLA Abu Azmi has clarified his statement praising Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. This statement has created a ruckus in the politics of the state. Shiv Sena and BJP have demanded strict action against them. There was a lot of uproar on this issue in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on Tuesday. BJP and Shiv Sena members raised slogans of Jai Bhavani-Jai Shivaji in the House and demanded action on Abu Azmi.
Azmi had said on Monday that the king used to fight for power and property, it is wrong to give it religious color. He defended Aurangzeb and claimed that he not only broke the temples, but also demolished many mosques, so it is not right to link it to the Hindu-Muslim dispute.
Abu Azmi said on Sunday that Aurangzeb was not a cruel ruler and India was a “gold bird” during his reign. He also claimed that Aurangzeb had built many temples and his war with Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was not religious, but a struggle for power.
What did Abu Azmi say?
Azmi said that the kings of that time struggled for power and property, but it was nothing religious. Aurangzeb ruled for 52 years, and if he really wanted to make Hindus a Muslim, then think how many Hindus would have changed. If Aurangzeb destroyed the temples, they also destroyed mosques. If they were against Hindus, 34% of Hindus would not be with them, and their advisors are not Hindus. We do not need to give it a Hindu-Muslim angle. This country will run from the Constitution, and I have not even said a word against Hindu brothers. The SP leader said that what I said is based on facts. History should not be seen on the basis of truth, not from the political agenda. I believe in constitution and equality.

Shiv Sena spokesperson Kiran Pavaskar said that this issue will arise in the assembly as well. If someone will insult the great men of our country, then action should be taken against them. Action should be taken by a leader like Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. Is.
