Aurangzeb Tomb Controversy: Maharashtra Minister Sanjay Shirsat Calls For Khuldabad To Be Renamed Ratnapur
Khuldabad is a small town located 24 kilometres from the city of Aurangabad.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Shirsat explained that he had sent a letter on this matter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. "We may need to introduce a resolution in the upcoming state Assembly session," he added.
Shirsat clarified that this was not a new proposal. "The town was originally known as Ratnapur before Aurangzeb arrived. When he came here, Ratnapur was renamed Khuldabad. Similarly, Devgiri became Khuldabad, and Khidki was renamed Aurangabad. All these 'Bads' emerged after Aurangzeb's time. We are simply seeking to restore the original names," he said.
