Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi in Maharashtra created a ruckus due to his statement on the praise of Aurangzeb. When the BJP objected and protested, many leaders also came to light, who were seen justifying Abu Azmi’s statement. These include the names of Congress MP Imran Masood and Congress leader Rashid Alvi. MP Imran Masood made a statement that Aurangzeb was great and India’s GDP was at the top of the world during the reign of Aurangzeb.
All this controversy over Aurangzeb started with the film Chhava. The film was released on 14 February. It is shown in the film that Aurangzeb brutally murdered Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj after giving terrible torture for 40 days and took his wife and son hostage. Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
What did Imran Masood say in support?
Congress MP Imran Masood said, which is written in history, he cannot erase it. Can not erase history by making a film. People should get the right knowledge. Aurangzeb was the 49 -year -old king of this country. How can he be a terrorist? Where was GDP inside his kingdom. Aurangzeb was the king of India. Who conquered Kailash Mansarovar. Who created a unbroken India till Burma? All this was in Aurangzeb’s era.
He further said, today the descendants of the Mughals are living their lives by asking for utensils. Born here. It was here that this soil ended. He was the British who looted. Bahadur Shah killed both the children of Zafar because he did not surrender. Where will the BJP take this country with hate. The country’s politics will harm the country. 25 crore people cannot line up.
Danish Ali- that was his style
Congress leader Danish Ali said, Aurangzeb is the history of the country and history cannot be erased. Good or bad, history is history. Every king Maharaja had his own style to work. Those people used to do anything to gain power. He should look like the working style of King Maharaja. Should not be associated with any religion.
‘Why only Aurangzeb Target?’
Congress leader Udit Raj said, I support Abu Azmi’s statement. Abu Azmi has not spoken anything wrong. Aurangzeb also broke the mosque. The king used to harass each other. The elder kings used to torture the younger. It is wrong to target just one king. There was also a cruel king in Hindu. Why only Aurangzab targets?
‘But he also gave money to temples’
Congress leader Rashid Alvi said, Aurangzeb was bad or good. What is relevance in our India after 500 years. Politics is happening on this. Aurangzeb is accused that he broke the temple but he also gave money to the temples. Did BJP not break temples in Gujarat? BJP broke both the temple and the mosque.
What did AIMIM leader say
Former AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jalil said, they have become the favorite topic of all political parties so that they can prove how patriotic they are. Abu Azmi gives a statement from BJP. Raising the 400 -year -old issue and distracts attention from other important issues. Abu Azmi is working on the gestures of BJP.
What did Eknath Shinde say?
Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde said, we have condemned his statement. They will have to pay the price of the statement and the people of Maharashtra will not forgive them. They should be suspended. We have made our demand to suspend them (from the House). Shinde said in the assembly, this is not the first time that he is saying good things about Aurangzeb. We condemned his statement. Earlier too, he made some objectionable statements about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He deliberately insulted Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Sambhaji Maharaj. Sambhaji Maharaj made his sacrifice for Swarajya. Abu Azmi is a traitor. They have no right to sit in this house. Aurangzeb kept Sambhaji Maharaj captive for 40 days. He snatched the nails and tongue of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. He even put salt on his body to torture Sambhaji Maharaj. Even after this barbarity, Sambhaji Maharaj refused to accept Islam. In the end, I want to say that the lion, which was erased on the country and religion, was the obsession of Shiva, Mahaprakrami Paramapratapi was the same Shambhu king.
Shiv Sena will protest all over the state
Shiv Sena said, “Protests will be held across the state against statements that insult Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The party has demanded that a case of treason should be registered against Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi and they should be suspended from the assembly to glorify Aurangzeb.
What did Navneet Rana say
BJP leader Navneet Rana said, “The state where you have been elected to sit for 5 years, he was ruled by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.” People like you should watch the film ‘Chhava’ what Aurangzeb did to our king. I want to request the Maharashtra government that the way Aurangabad was renamed after our Lord Sambhaji Maharaj, the tomb of Aurangzeb should also be broken.
Sudhanshu Trivedi said- Why praise such ruler?
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said, I want to say three things. On 6 April 1669, Aurangzeb ordered the demolition of Hindu temples and then his order was followed on 2 September 1669. Why praise such ruler? Is this not a cruel joke of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s sacrifice? Third, why should the person who killed his own brothers and imprisoned his father should be glorified? What is Aurangzeb’s relationship with India’s land and why does the Samajwadi Party and Congress want to sow the seeds of hatred in the country?
What did the deputy CM of UP say …
UP Deputy CM Brijesh Pathak said, all the forces that are anti -national, they flourish under the protection of SP. Strict action should be taken against them. The Mughal invaders have done the work of disintegrating the culture of the country, but Indian culture has done the work of showing the way to the world.
UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said, Aurangzeb’s soul has penetrated inside the SP. Akhilesh ji should take action against Abu Azmi by apologizing. It is necessary to become SP’s termination party. The country will not tolerate insult to Shiva at any cost. People of Maharashtra and UP will answer this.
What did Abu Azmi say?
SP leader Abu Azmi had said that I do not consider Aurangzeb a cruel ruler. At that time the power struggle was political, not religious. There were many Hindus in Aurangzeb’s army, such as many Muslims in Chhatrapati Shivaji’s army. Aurangzeb was not a cruel ruler and built several temples. Those who claim that there was a Hindu and Muslim fight between Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb, those people are lying. When the controversy over this statement increased, an FIR was lodged against Abu Azmi. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde demanded the cancellation of Azmi’s membership of the assembly.
What did Abu Azmi say in cleaning?
After this dispute, Abu Azmi also apologized for his statement. Abu Azmi gave clarification and said, I cannot even think of speaking against Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Sambhaji Maharaj. I am not so big My words are shown by distorting. I have said the same about Aurangzeb Rahmatullah Aleh that historians and writers have said. I have not made any derogatory comment about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Sambhaji Maharaj or any other great sages, but still I have been hurt by this thing, so I withdraw my words, my statement. This is being made a political issue and because of this, I understand to stop the budget session of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly that it is to harm the people of Maharashtra.
He said in another statement, I had reacted to the CM of Assam to compare Rahul Gandhi to Aurangzeb. Many historians have written about Aurangzeb and I have repeated those things. These books have still not been banned. If no action was taken against those historians, then why this issue has been made. While I said what has already been written. Many things are going on against Muslims in the country. The more he talks against Muslims (BJP leaders), the more his vote bank increases. People sitting in the government are spreading hatred against me. I am getting a lot of abuses and if something happens to me then it is the responsibility of the government. I am not taking back my statement because it was wrong, but because people have been incorrectly instigated against me.
