Aurangabad: Shiv Sena MLA and supporter of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Sanjay Shirsat on Monday said that he will write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb from Aurangabad city. Shirsat termed the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) protest against the renaming of Aurangabad as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar a “biryani party”.
A successive hunger strike led by AIMIM’s local MP Imtiyaz Jaleel is going on at the district collector’s office here since March 4. In a conversation with Marathi news channel ‘ABP Majha’, Shirsat claimed, “This is not a movement, but a biryani party and the pictures of this party have also gone viral.” Muslims in Aurangabad have no problem in renaming, but people in Hyderabad (AIMIM) have.”

The Shiv Sena MLA said, “Why do you (Jalil) have a problem in changing the name of the city?” Are you a descendant of Aurangzeb? AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi goes to (Aurangzeb’s) grave and bows his head.” He said that no day should be celebrated in the memory of Aurangzeb and the remains of the tomb of the Mughal emperor should also be removed from Aurangabad.
Shirsat said, “I will write a letter to the Prime Minister regarding these demands. I will also meet the police commissioner as Jaleel is trying to disturb peace and harmony in the city.” The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Center has approved the renaming of Aurangabad city to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Osmanabad city to Dharashiv in Maharashtra. Aurangabad derives its name from Aurangzeb, while Osmanabad was named after the 20th-century ruler of the princely state of Hyderabad. (agency)
