โ€œSambhaji Maharaj โ€˜Swarajya Rakshakโ€™ Not Dharamveerโ€: LoP Ajit Pawar

Ajit Pawar

Mumbai: Maharashtra Assembly Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar refused to apologise for his statement that Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj should be called โ€˜Swarajya Rakshakโ€™ instead of โ€˜Dharamveerโ€™.

Ajit Pawar said that the Bharatiya Janata Party protest against him while they were silent when the Maharashtra Governor and many other leaders disrespected heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He further added that the word โ€˜Dharmveerโ€™ is used widely, therefore Chhatrapati Shambhaji Maharaj should be addressed as โ€˜Swarajya Rakshakโ€™.

โ€œIf you google and search โ€˜Dharmveerโ€™ a lot of people use it as their designation. So if I said Chhatrapati Shambhaji Maharaj is not a โ€˜Dharmveerโ€™ I was not wrong because Shambhaji Maharaj is one. I stand by my statement,โ€ Pawar added.

He said that movies are released under the name of โ€˜Dharmveerโ€™ and now as per news โ€˜Dharmveer 2โ€™ will be released. So, the โ€˜Dharmveerโ€™ word is used by everyone nowadays.

โ€œChhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is a โ€˜Swaraj Rakshakโ€™. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj found Hindavi Swarajya and Sambhaji Maharaj continued it after Shivaji Maharajโ€. Pawar Added.

In the recently concluded Maharashtra state assemblyโ€™s winter session in Nagpur, during a debate, senior NCP leader and LoP Ajit Pawar said, โ€œWe always refer to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj as โ€˜Swaraj Rakshakโ€™. But some people are calling him โ€˜Dharamveerโ€™ (protector of religion). It is incorrect to call him โ€˜Dharamveerโ€™. Sambhaji Maharaj never championed the cause of any particular religion; his sacrifice and work were for national and inclusive welfare.โ€
