Hindu organisation blackens Aurangzeb’s portrait at Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) railway station

Railway claims that the portrait was not of Aurangzeb, but of Bahadur Shah Zafar

Ghaziabad (UP) – A Hindu organisation called ‘Hindu Raksha Dal’ blackened Aurangzeb’s portrait on platform number 4 at Ghaziabad railway station. Officials of this Hindu organisation justified this by saying that a representation would also be submitted to the railway authorities to remove the portrait of the Mughal invader from the Government building’. In this regard, Ghaziabad railway officials claimed that that portrait was not of Aurangzeb, but of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor who participated in the 1857 freedom struggle.

People associated with the Hindu Raksha Dal had reached the Ghaziabad railway station in large numbers. They chanted slogans and blackened the painting. The organisation said that the railway was Government property. That kind of painting would not be tolerated there. The railway officials have been asked to remove the painting on their own. Aurangzeb was a Muslim aggressor.

Editorial Perspective

If that portrait was not of Aurangzeb, but of Bahadur Shah Zafar, then the question arises why the railway administration did not write his name below the picture ?
