The debate over Aurangzeb's tomb in Maharashtra has intensified, with demands from some BJP leaders for its demolition. Shiv Sena-UBT MP Sanjay Raut argues that the tomb symbolizes Maratha valor and should be preserved as a historical reminder. NCP MLA Rohit Pawar criticized the Mahayuti government for failing to address pressing issues like farmer distress and youth unemployment. He accused the ruling party of distracting the public with the tomb controversy instead of focusing on real problems. Pawar also highlighted past remarks by BJP leaders against historical figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, questioning the silence of associated groups. He emphasized the importance of remembering history and the Marathas' resistance against Aurangzeb.
