Uddhav Thackeray Comments on Aurangzeb Controversy from 300 Years Ago

In Nagpur, Maharashtra, violence erupted over demands to relocate the grave of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, resulting in vandalism and injuries to nearly 40 people. Former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray criticized the controversy, highlighting that Aurangzeb died over 300 years ago and questioning the BJP's motives. His son, Aaditya Thackeray, accused the BJP of using the issue to divert attention from governance failures, likening it to unrest in Manipur. The unrest began after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) burned a photo of Aurangzeb, prompting a counter-response from the Muslim community. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described the violence as a "premeditated conspiracy," while opposition leaders pointed to the proximity of the RSS headquarters as a potential instigator. A curfew remains in effect in parts of Nagpur as authorities work to restore order. sources
