Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis had earlier made a statement that he also does not want Aurangzeb’s grave in the state, but during the central government of the Congress, the Mughal emperor’s tomb was distinguished to the ASI. Due to which it has become difficult to remove Aurangzeb’s grave. At the same time, Maharashtra Pradesh President and MLA of Samajwadi Party Abu Azmi had tied the bridges of praise of Aurangzeb. Because of which he had to come under criticism. Also, politics in the name of Aurangzeb was also very hot. Abu Azmi was also suspended from the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly session in the Aurangzeb case. Later, he apologized saying that if someone’s heart is hurt, then he is an apology for him.
History says that Aurangzeb had tortured Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and killed him.
The latest atmosphere against Aurangzeb is created after the performance of Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Chhava’. According to history, Aurangzeb had done a lot of oppression on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Aurangzeb wandered between Maharashtra and Golconda to catch Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj with his army of millions. After 9 years, he could catch Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj because of some traitors. Then Chhatrapati tortured Sambhaji Maharaj and then pieces his body into the river in Tulapur. Aurangzeb died in Maharashtra in the year 1707. He was buried in Khuldabad.
