Deputy CM Eknath Shinde demands a sedition case against Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi for praising Aurangzeb. Shinde condemned Azmi's remarks, emphasizing the valor of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and the cruelty of the Mughal ruler.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sudhanshu Trivedi hit out at Samajwadi Party leader and Maharashtra MLA Abu Azmi and asked the INDI block members why they were trying to glorify Aurangzeb.
Azmi had reportedly said that Aurangzeb was not a "cruel administrator" and "built many temples". He added that the battle between the Mughal emperor and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was for state administration and not about Hindu and Muslim.
