The episode relating to Samajwadi Party chief in Maharashtra, Abu Azmi, praising Mughal emperor Aurangzeb has not only rocked the state, but its reverberations have reached Uttar Pradesh, where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “the kambakth (wretched man) who praised Aurangzeb should be sent to UP and we will give him a proper treatment”. Abu Azmi was suspended by Maharashtra assembly for the rest of the budget session, while Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis promised to send Azmi “to jail 100 per cent” for “insulting Chhatrapati Shivaji and his son Sambhaji Maharaj”.
