Tension gripped Ghaziabad railway station on Friday after members of the Hindu Raksha Dal blackened a painting of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, triggering a protest on the platform. The artwork, part of a recent beautification drive, was defaced by the group, who shouted slogans like ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and denounced the presence of the Mughal ruler’s image on public property. Leading the protest, Hindu Raksha Dal member Vipin Rajput called Aurangzeb a “vile person” and accused him of committing atrocities against Hindus during his reign. “We don’t want such invaders glorified here. This country belongs to real heroes like Maharana Pratap, Surajmal, and Brahmji—not to tyrants like Aurangzeb,” Rajput said. Speaking to news agency ANI, the DRM of Delhi Division, Pushpesh Raman Tripathi, said that the painting was not of Aurangzeb; it was of Bahadur Shah Zafar. He further added that it is not appropriate to deface any public property. Tripathi assured that action will be taken accordingly. ‘Those Glorifying Aurangzeb Are Traitors’: Shiv Sena Leader Eknath Shinde Condemns Mughal Emperor’s Atrocities Against Maharashtra.
