Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Bhaiyaji Joshi said on the issue of the Mughal emperor’s tomb, the theme of Aurangzeb’s tomb has been unnecessarily raised. He died here (in India), so a tomb is built on his grave here. Those who have faith will go there. Joshi said, we have the ideal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, he built the tomb of Afzal Khan. It is a symbol of India’s generosity and inclusion. The tomb will remain and whoever wants to go there will go. Please tell that there was violence in two communities to remove Aurangzeb’s grave in Nagpur.
Thackeray warned
MNS chief Raj Thackeray warned people, condemning the political efforts to create a dispute over Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district on the previous day. He said that Afzal Khan, the commander of the Bijapur Sultanate, was buried near Pratapgarh Fort and could not be done without the permission of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Thakaran said that it is being fought in the name of history. The knowledge of history should be taken away from WhatsApp from reliable sources. We should worry about water trees and nature etc. but are fighting on Aurangzeb’s grave.
