Eknath Shinde on Aurangzeb: Amid the ongoing controversy over the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also gave a big statement that the US had also not allowed Osama bin Laden to be buried on his land and threw his body into the sea to avoid any kind of glory.
Shinde raised questions
In the Legislative Council, Shinde, while addressing the House on Nagpur violence, took a sarcasm at the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab while addressing the House on Nagpur violence. Eknath Shinde questioned the glorification of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, whose tomb has become a source of dispute among right -wing organizations. Currently there is a demand to remove this grave.
Target on Aurangzeb issue
The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra said in his speech, “Who is Aurangzeb? Why should we let him glorify it in our state?” He said that the Mughal emperor had given Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhajiraj the option to adopt Islam, but when he refused, he was brutally murdered.
Congress also wrapped
Eknath Shinde criticized State Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal for comparing the rule of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to Aurangzeb’s rule. He asked, “Has Fadnavis ever harassed someone in the same way that Aurangzeb did his enemies?”
What is in Aurangzeb’s will?
Afroz Ahmed, who took care of Aurangzeb’s mausoleum for six generations, says Aurangzeb had a will to his son Azam Shah that his tomb be made of raw soil in Khuldadh, the complex of his guru Sufi saint Hazrat Jainuddin Shiraji’s dargah. He said that Aurangzeb had said that no dome or any building would be built on his grave. It should be made like a poor man’s grave… under the open sky and raw. Even today, his unprecedented grave is lying under the open sky. This is the reason that Aurangzeb’s tomb gets wet in the rainy months.
