Ramdas Athawale
The demand for the removal of the grave of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in Maharashtra has been gained for some time. Meanwhile, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale said in a statement on Sunday that no solution would be found by removing Aurangzeb’s grave. He suggested that a large monument of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj should be built in Sambhaji Nagar.
Athawale said in a conversation with reporters in Dehradun, “Nothing will be achieved by removing Aurangzeb’s grave.
“Don’t add ties with Muslim Aurangzeb”
He said, “We should pursue the ideology of Sambhaji Maharaj, but at the same time it is also necessary to maintain peace in the country.” Athawale appealed to the Muslims not to add their ties with Aurangzeb. He said, “I request Muslims not to add any relation with Aurangzeb. The Muslims here were Hindus and they are not Aurangzeb’s children. They have no connection with them.” On this occasion, the Union Minister had come to Dehradun for a review meeting of the central schemes run by the Social Welfare Department in the state.
