Maharashtra CM regrets protecting Aurangzeb's grave site

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed regret that the government must protect Aurangzeb's grave amid calls for its removal. He emphasized the need to follow legal procedures due to the site's protected status under the Archaeological Survey of India. Fadnavis's comments came during the inauguration of a temple dedicated to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He acknowledged shared sentiments regarding Aurangzeb's legacy but reiterated that any actions must comply with existing laws. The grave is protected under the AMASR Act, which prohibits alterations without permission. Violating these rules can lead to legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment.
