Shiv Sena MP Raut said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj fought such a big fight with Aurangzeb. Even after the death of Chhatrapati Shivaji, Aurangzeb continued to fight in Maharashtra for 25 years but could not win. It should be seen and understood by the future generations. If no one is ready to understand history, then he is an enemy of history. Let us tell you that Aurangzeb’s tomb is located in Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra. On the other hand, after the announcement of Bajrang Dal and VHP, security has been increased outside Aurangzeb’s grave.
Recently, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also said about Aurangzeb’s grave that he should be removed, although he also said that since the Congress has declared this protected monument, the work of removing the grave should be done according to the legal process. There has been a dispute over Aurangzeb since Aurangzeb was praised by Maharashtra SP President and MLA Abu Azmi in the past. Abu Azmi has also been suspended from the budget session of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for his Aurangzeb love.
