The political temperature is rising in Maharashtra over Aurangzeb's tomb. Sacred workers have issued a stark warning to the Maharashtra government, declaring that if the tomb isn't removed by authorities, they will take action akin to Ayodhya's Babri Mosque. Responding to this declaration, security around Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar has been ramped up significantly, with a formidable police presence in place.
The deployment of numerous police forces around Aurangzeb’s tomb aims to prevent any unauthorized access. Meanwhile, this issue has invoked significant political debate in Maharashtra. NCP MP Supriya Sule stated that this is not a partisan issue but a historical one. She emphasized the importance of historical consulting before any political intervention occurs, urging the government to seek historians' advice before proceeding on this delicate matter.
