Raj Thackeray urges PM Modi to change Aurangabad’s name to Sambhaji Nagar

Amid the controversy over an AIMIM leader's recent visit to Mughal ruler Aurangzeb's tomb in Aurangabad city of Maharashtra, the MNS leader appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre to change the name of Aurangabad to Sambhaji Nagar and to bring the Uniform Civil Code.

Thackeray said, "We were planning a gathering in an open space, but considering the possibility of rain, we decided to hold it indoors."
