There has been a ruckus in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra regarding Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. Some boys had posted WhatsApp statuses in support of Aurangzeb and had also written objectionable things about him. Some Hindu organizations opposed this and took to the streets. On Wednesday, when people gathered on the call of Hindu organizations in many areas of the city, the situation seemed to be out of control. After the mobilization of the Hindu side, some people from the other side also came down and there were reports of stone pelting. Police had to resort to a lathi charge to bring the situation under control. Hindu organizations had already announced a bandh in the district on Wednesday.
Activists of Hindu organizations gathered at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk in the city. During this, when they became violent, the police lathi-charged them. State Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered strict action. CM Eknath Shinde said that the incident is unfortunate and we appeal to all to maintain peace. Eknath Shinde said that the people who posted the controversial WhatsApp status have been identified and strict action will be taken against them. He said that the three boys doing WhatsApp status are minors.
He said that it would be probed as to why these three kept the same status at the same time. It will be investigated whether someone is behind these people or someone had inspired them for this. Devendra Fadnavis said that it is our responsibility to maintain peace. He said that Maharaj Shivaji and Sambhaji are adorable to us. Those who praise Aurangzeb will not be spared. Enraged by the status imposed on Aurangzeb, people demanded strict action and raised slogans. At present, the police have taken the accused into custody and an investigation is on. The situation of violence also took place in Town Hall, Bindu Chowk, and some other areas of the city. \nThere are reports that the mob also pelted stones in Laxmipuri Mandai, Akbar Mohalla, Muslim Boarding, and CPR Hospital area. Seeing the worsening of the situation, the police have also put some people under house arrest so that the situation does not get worse. At present, the state's DGP and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have also become active in the whole matter and are taking stock of the situation.
