No Civilized Muslim Names Their Son Aurangzeb: UP leader minister yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh leader minister yogi adityanath on saturday doubled down on his criticism of those who admire aurangzeb, taking a pointed jab at maharashtra Samajwadi party leader Abu Azmi, who these days defended the 17th-century Mughal emperor.
Talking on the india Nowadays Conclave 2025, yogi adityanath said that no "civilized Muslim" would call their son after aurangzeb, describing the ancient ruler as a tyrant.
His feedback came in response to a main political controversy sparked last week when Abu Azmi claimed that aurangzeb was now not merciless and had, in reality, constructed temples for Hindus in the course of his reign. Following his statement, Azmi was suspended from the maharashtra assembly for the remainder of the consultation.
Addressing the difficulty in the Uttar Pradesh meeting, yogi adityanath called for Azmi's expulsion from his party and reiterated his authorities's strict stance on folks that recognize Aurangzeb.
"Everybody who sees aurangzeb as a hero is mentally challenged. No wise character can recall him as an idol. He changed into a ruler who imprisoned his very own father, Shah Jahan, and denied him water. Even Shah Jahan, in his autobiography, lamented having this sort of son who made his final years miserable," yogi adityanath stated during his unique session on the india Today Conclave 2025.
Highlighting the comparison between Hindus and those who glorify aurangzeb, he stated, "Hindus no longer only care for their parents in life but also carry out ancestral rituals for his or her salvation after demise. Individuals who respect aurangzeb need to examine this."
Refuting the belief that aurangzeb changed into a tolerant leader, the minister recounted the destruction of temples underneath his rule.
"He demolished baba Vishwanath's dham in Varanasi, recognized nowadays as Gyanvapi. He additionally destroyed Shri krishna Janmabhoomi in mathura and infinite other temples. He imposed the Jaziya tax on Hindus and changed into answerable for the slaughter of lakhs of Hindus," yogi adityanath asserted.
Issuing a strong caution to those who idolize the Mughal emperor, he brought, "All of us who glorify this kind of figure are deeply faulty. That is why I say Uttar Pradesh has nice treatment for such people. Come to UP, and we are able to show you the way to manage them."
