Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/drug-de-addiction-possible-by-imbibing-spiritual-strength-and-moral-values-maha-dy-cm-fadnavis-23292831" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Devendra Fadnavis</a> said on Sunday that no Muslim in India is a descendant of Aurangzeb, and nationalist Muslims in the country do not recognize the Mughal emperor as their ruler.
Fadnavis also said that there is only one king, and that is <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/opinion/article/advantage-who-shinde-or-fadnavis-23293080" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj</a> and the Muslims also respect him.
"Our king is only <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/maharashtra-expelled-from-congress-former-mla-ashish-deshmukh-rejoins-bjp-23293020" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj</a>. We cannot have another king. Muslims in India are not descendants of Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb and his clan came from outside,"
A Muslim in this country who has national ideas never approves of Aurangzeb. He respects only Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj," Devendra Fadnavis while addressing a public rally in Maharashtra's Akola.
The public rally was organised by the BJP in commemoration of PM Narendra Modi-led government completing nine years in the Centre.
Earlier on Thursday, June 8, tension simmered in Maharashtra's Kolhapur after some youth allegedly posted objectionable posts on social media with a reference to Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis slammed supporters of the erstwhile Mughal ruler. "Suddenly, in some districts of Maharashtra, sons of Aurangzeb took birth. They keep the status of Aurangzeb and show their posters. Because of this, there are tensions. Questions arise, where do these sons of Aurangzeb come from? Who are behind this? We will find this out," said Fadnavis while talking to ANI in Nagpur.
