Hindu Outfits Threaten 'Babri-Like' Action If Aurangzeb's Tomb Not Razed, To Protest Across Maharashtra

The controversy over Aurangzeb’s tomb in Maharashtra’s Sambhajinagar is escalating, with demands for its removal growing louder. Hindu organizations, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, have announced protests across all district collector offices in the state today, submitting memorandums urging authorities to act.

Protesters claim that the Mughal emperor’s tomb should be removed from Sambhajinagar, warning that if the government does not take action, they will take matters into their own hands. In response to these threats, security around Aurangzeb’s tomb has been heightened to prevent any untoward incident.

The issue has sparked a major political and religious debate, with Hindu groups arguing that Aurangzeb’s legacy is a symbol of oppression, while others see the demand as an attempt to stir communal tensions. Authorities remain on high alert as tensions continue to rise.
