Samajwadi Party's MLA Abu Azmi has sparked a political controversy after defending Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb claiming that "all the wrong history is being shown" and that Aurangzeb "built many temples" and he was not a "cruel leader."
After Azmi's statement, Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde reacted strongly to it saying, "his statement is wrong and should be condemned."
"Aurangzeb tortured Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj for 40 days; calling such a person good is the biggest sin, and hence, Abu Azmi should apologize. Our CM has taken this matter seriously. He should be charged with treason," Shinde said.
