CM Devendra Fadnavis advocates a lawful approach to the Aurangzeb tomb issue. BJP figures push for removal amidst ongoing historical debates.

Fadnavis Supports Legal Means for Aurangzeb Tomb

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis supports legal measures over Aurangzeb's tomb, aligning with BJP demands for its removal while maintaining heritage laws.

CM Fadnavis supports legal means regarding Aurangzeb's tomb removal, amidst BJP calls for its demolition.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed support for calls to remove the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, located in Khuldabad, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, but emphasized the need for a lawful approach.
The tomb is currently under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), a status conferred during the tenure of a previous Congress government.
Chief Minister Fadnavis remarked, "While many share the sentiment for removal, it is essential to respect the legal framework as the site is a protected heritage under ASI's jurisdiction."
The issue has gained momentum following comments by BJP's Satara MP, Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Bhosale urged for the tomb to be demolished, labeling Aurangzeb as a "thief and robber" and suggesting that those wishing to honor Aurangzeb should relocate the tomb to their homes.
Further into the controversy, BJP leader Navneet Rana has demanded the tomb's demolition, paralleling the recent renaming of Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
The debate intensified after Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi's remarks praising Aurangzeb, describing him as a proficient administrator.
Azmi, who was suspended from the Maharashtra legislative assembly's budget session, claimed Aurangzeb had been misrepresented in history and highlighted India's economic status during his rule.
His comments received backlash, particularly in light of the film 'Chhaava,' portraying the persecution of Sambhaji Maharaj. Despite retracting his statement, Azmi faces legal action, with Fadnavis insisting on his imprisonment.
Aurangzeb's burial site lies in Khuldabad, approximately 25 kilometers from Aurangabad. Per his wishes, he rests near the tomb of his spiritual guide, Sufi saint Syed Zainuddin, in a modest, open-air grave.
Such simplicity contrasted with the later addition of a marble grille, installed by the Nizam of Hyderabad at the behest of Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India.

A man from Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai found himself in trouble for allegedly using an image of Aurangzeb as his Whatsapp profile picture

An FIR was registered by Navi Mumbai police against a man for allegedly using Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's image as his Whatsapp profile picture after the issue was raised by a Hindu organisation, an official said on Sunday.
Police detained the man in Vashi, who works in an outlet of a mobile service provider. He was allowed to go and a notice was issued to him.
The screenshot of Aurangzeb's profile picture was submitted to the police by a Hindu organisation, leading to registration of the case under sections 298 (Uttering words, etc, with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) and 153-A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence) of the Indian Penal Code, the official said.
Further investigation is underway, he added.
Incidents of communal tension have taken place in various cities of Maharashtra recently over the alleged glorification of Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan.
In Kolhapur city, protesters pelted stones during a demonstration against the alleged use of Tipu Sultan&rsquo;s image along with an objectionable audio message as social media &ldquo;status&rdquo; by a few locals on Wednesday.
Earlier, photos of Aurangzeb were displayed in a procession in Ahmednagar. In Sangamner town, stones were hurled during a rally of Sakal Hindu Samaj in response to the alleged murder of a boy. Two persons were injured and five vehicles were damaged.
Separately, a poster of Aurangzeb was displayed with the raising of objectionable slogans during a religious procession, also in Sangamner, police had said.&nbsp;

The protest had reportedly been organised by Hindu organisations over some social media posts on a Mughal ruler.

The protesters alleged that the posts glorified the two rulers.&nbsp;
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday appealed for calm and said nobody should take the law into their hands.
"Anyone taking law into their hands will not be spared. I am in touch with the local administration, and the necessary directives have been given. The welfare of the common man is our topmost priority," Shinde said.
People should cooperate with the administration to maintain peace, the chief minister added.

Authorities have deployed additional security at Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb in Aurangabad after an MNS leader questioned the need for the monument's existence here in Maharashtra and said it should be destroyed, an ASI official said on Wednesday.
Notably, AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi's recent visit to the tomb was criticised by the ruling Shiv Sena in the state as well as the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashta Navnirman Sena (MNS).
On Tuesday, MNS spokesperson Gajanan Kale in a tweet wondered what was the need for Aurangzeb's tomb in Maharashtra and said it should be destroyed so that people would not go there.
After this tweet, some people in Khultabad area, where the tomb is located, tried to lock the structure, which is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
When contacted, ASI's Aurangabad circle superintendent Milan Kumar Chauley told PTI that some people tried to lock the tomb, claiming there was a threat of it being vandalised.
"But, I said unless anything is given to the ASI in writing, I shall not act on it. We have kept the monument open and have added four more security guards there. We also conveyed about the situation to police and they sent a security van there," he said.
Days after Owaisi's visit to the tomb earlier this month, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had wondered if such an act was aimed at creating a new controversy in Maharashtra which is functioning peacefully.

"Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity" - this statement by the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra has caused a huge nationwide controversy. BJP's Devendra Fadnavis has found support in some quarters, and faced flak from others.
The statement was made in reaction to AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi visiting the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Fadnavis had said, "Asaduddin Owaisi visited Aurangzeb's grave and paid tribute. And all you did was watch. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should drown in a handful of water. Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity. Saffron flags will wave across India."
The Mayor of Srinagar, Junaid Mattu fired a veiled criticism at Fadnavis, saying, "May Allah (SWT)’s mercy and blessings be upon Hafiz-e-Quran, Shahenshah Hazrat Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb (R.A.) and his grave."
Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar had also criticised Owaisi.He had said, "These people know the history of Maharashtra and India. What Aurangzeb did in his era is also known. It is not right for someone from outside Maharashtra to come to the state and create a new issue."
The Shiv Sena also objected to Owaisi's actions, calling it a bid to stoke communal tension in Maharashtra.
The NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress are in power in Maharashta.
