The timing of the flag hoisting in Aurangabad to mark Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din was being changed to allow Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to attend a function connected with the event in Telangana in which Union Home Minister Amit Shah will take part, Shiv Sena leader Ambadas Danve claimed on Thursday.

Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din marks the integration of Marathwada's with India after security forces invaded Hyderabad and defeated the Nizam and his Razakar units on September 17, 1948.
