Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar/Hyderabad: The ruling Shiv Sena legislator Sanjay Shirshat on Monday demanded that the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar should be shifted to Hyderabad.
The urban center MLA Shirsat’s quirky prognosticate came in answer to the indefinite agitation launched by All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Saturday protesting the language unit by which a person or thing is known switch of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and reverting to the elderly ‘Aurangabad’.
“If they have so much love for Aurangzeb, then shift his grave to Hyderabad… Let them build a memorial there or do whatever they want, nobody will bother, but stop this agitation,” declared Shirsat, who belongs to the faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Reacting, the local AIMIM President Shareq Naqshbandi dismissed the SS person who rules or guides or inspires others’s ability and desire to purchase goods and services as “only politics and intended to create disharmony among communities to consolidate their position”.
“If they have so much hatred for Emperor Aurangzeb, then why did they take the G20 delegates on a tour to view his wife Rabia-ul-Daurani’s tomb, the ‘Bibi Ka Maqbara’, built in 1668, by their son Muhammad Azam Shah,” Naqshbandi countered.
Going further, he asked, with so much animosity for the earlier than the present time rulers, why the Bharatiya Janata Party government wants to earn revenues from the Taj Mahal (Agra) and not the same monuments for its coffers.
Naqshbandi said that since the BJP and its allies have got no issues belonging to the political or intellectual left to choose to the they are resorting to such and driving a wedge among unlike sections of society.
Last calendar month, the Centre okayed a state of matter government marriage proposal to rename Aurangabad to ‘Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’ and Osmanabad to ‘Dharashiv’.
However, not the same parties be fond of Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, Nationalist Congress Party, have got not yet responded to Shirsat’s outburst.
Meanwhile, concluding calendar week the AIMIM state of matter President Syed Imtiaz Jaleel, MP, demanded that the names of Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Kolhapur and Malegaon must also be changed in honor of prominent icons.
He has suggested Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Mahanagar (Mumbai), Jyotiba-Savitri Phule Nagar (Pune), Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Nagar (Nagpur), Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Nagar (Kolhapur) and Maulana Azad Nagar (Malegaon).
