Mumbai: Getting into Opposition's role in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena today asked the BJP government in the state to allow a "grand celebration" to mark the killing of Mughal commander Afzal Khan by Shivaji Maharaj, an important chapter in Maratha history.

An annual function to mark the event at Pratapgad Fort in Satara district, the place where the slaying took place in 17th century, had been stopped since 2004, but Sena wants it to be revived and held at a mega level.
