Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has shown solidarity with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s stance on the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb. However, legal impediments hinder this proposition as the tomb is safeguarded by the Archaeological Survey of India. The call for the tomb’s removal originated from BJP’s Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, intensifying the debate. Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi’s admiration for Aurangzeb further fueled the controversy.
