‘Congress put site under ASI’: Fadnavis on calls to remove Aurangzeb’s tomb

IndiaTimes Monday, 10 March 2025
Maharashtra's CM Devendra Fadnavis expressed support for removing Mughal king Aurangzeb's tomb but highlighted legal constraints due to its protected status by the Archaeological Survey of India. This issue emerged after BJP's Udayanraje Bhosale, a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj descendent, advocated for its removal. The controversy was further fueled by Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi's praise of Aurangzeb.
