Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi, who recently faced backlash for his remarks praising Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, has now honored the legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj on his death anniversary. Remembering the Maratha warrior’s sacrifice, Azmi praised Sambhaji Maharaj for his valor and contribution to Indian history. His statement comes amid ongoing political controversies surrounding historical narratives in Maharashtra. Critics argue that Azmi’s tribute is an attempt to counterbalance the outrage caused by his earlier remarks on Aurangzeb. However, his praise for Sambhaji Maharaj has been welcomed by certain sections, who see it as a positive acknowledgment of Maratha heritage. The move is expected to spark fresh political debates, as historical figures like Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb remain highly sensitive topics in Maharashtra’s political landscape. Azmi’s comments could influence discussions on history, politics, and identity in the state.
