Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Udayanraje Bhosale has demanded strict legal measures against individuals making "false statements" about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and other Maratha rulers, regardless of their political affiliations.

Bhosale, a direct descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and a sitting Lok Sabha MP, stated that a law should be enacted in the ongoing assembly session to prevent any distortion of historical facts concerning Maratha icons. According to ANI, he urged both the state and central governments to take immediate steps to address the issue.
