Pune: BJP MLA Mahesh Landge came down heavily on SP MLA Abu Azmi for the latter\u2019s remarks on Emperor Aurangzeb in the State Legislative Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landge said, \u201cMughal Emperor Aurangzeb begged before my King Dharmveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to convert to Islam. Why are you glorifying him? People like MLA Abu Azmi need to be crushed not only in the Assembly but also in the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MLAs belonging to the Maha Yuti staged a protest against Abu Azmi on the steps in front of the State Legislature. They also raised slogans demanding an apology from Azmi. Mahesh Landge also participated in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MLA Landge said, \u201cDharmveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj sacrificed his life for the sake of religion. His life story reached the new generation through the \u2018Chhava\u2019 movie. Was a communal people\u2019s representative like Abu Azmi not ashamed when he glorified Aurangzeb?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Central Government propagates \u2018Hindutva\u2019 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Our Prime Minister takes a holy dip in Kumbh Mela. He also inculcates the ambition in people\u2019s minds to make India an economic super power. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis controls cow slaughter, \u2018Love Jihad\u2019, conversions, \u2018Vote Jihad\u2019 while presenting a vision of making Maharashtra a three-trillion economy. Our leaders go to the people with a development agenda with their \u2018Hindutva\u2019 ideology. But you are born only to divide people on communal lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Invoke sedition charges against Azmi<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landge said, \u201cCommunal people like Abu Azmi are causing a rift among communities. There is a difference between Aurangzeb, who killed his own brother and grabbed power, while Bharat implemented \u2018Ram Rajya\u2019 by worshipping his brother\u2019s \u2018padukas\u2019. Aurangzeb is not even a patch on my King, who did not give up till his last breath while defending his religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are still some descendants of Aurangzeb, who do not even speak about development. My Maha Yuti government is following the Hindutva agenda and a resolve and a dream for development. It will teach a lesson to elements glorifying Aurangzeb. An offence of sedition should be filed against Abu Azmi in Maharashtra for causing communal divide. This is my demand before the Assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
