Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi's comments praising Mughal emperor Aurangzeb caused a stir in the Maharashtra legislature. Ruling members demanded his suspension and accused him of treason. Azmi later retracted his statements, claiming they were misinterpreted. BJP also criticized Azmi and accused opposition parties of trying to undermine Sanatan Dharma. Both Houses were adjourned over the issue.
