Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has stated that there is widespread agreement over the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. However, he emphasised that any such action must be carried out within the legal framework, as the site was designated as a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) during the Congress-led government’s tenure.

Fadnavis made these remarks while addressing an event in Mumbai on Saturday night. His statement comes in response to a demand raised by BJP’s Satara MP Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of the legendary Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who has been vocal about seeking the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb.
