MNS against spending govt money on Aurangzeb’s tomb upkeep

Mumbai: The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has said that government money should not be spent on maintenance of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, a demand coming amid right-wing outfits’ push for its removal.
A memorandum listing five demands related to the tomb, an Archaeological Survey of India-protected monument located in Khultabad in central Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, was submitted to collector Dileep Swami by a local delegation of the Raj Thackeray-led party.
A board with the message, “We, Marathas, have buried Aurangzeb here who came to finish us” should be installed at the site, said the MNS.
According to the memorandum, any decoration done near the tomb should be removed and the area housing the structure should be under CCTV surveillance. Also, government money should not be spent on maintenance of the structure.
