Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday called for unity among Marathi people amid the tensions in Maharashtra over Aurangzeb’s tomb. He asked people to read history from books and not from WhatsApp.
“Don’t we want to let the world know that these people sought to destroy the Marathas but were wiped out instead? Stop reading history on WhatsApp and rather delve into history books," he said, addressing his annual Gudhi Padwa rally in Mumbai.
Thackeray’s remarks came in response to demands from right-wing groups calling for the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. The row has sparked protests and violence in Nagpur earlier this month.
