NEW DELHI: A curfew was imposed in multiple areas of Nagpur city, Maharashtra following tensions over Vishva Hindu Parishad's demand to remove Aurangzeb's grave, as AIMIM national spokesperson Waris Pathan condemned the violence and alleged that BJP members were spreading hatred and diverting attention from real issues.
The restrictions were implemented under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita in several police station limits including Kotwali, Ganeshpeth, Lakadganj, Pachpaoli, Shantinagar, Sakkardara, Nandanvan, Imamwada, Yashodharanagar, and Kapilnagar.

The order was issued by Nagpur Police Commissioner Ravinder Kumar Singal and will remain in effect until further notice.

"We condemn every act of violence. It should not happen and people should follow law and order, Maharashtra govt should probe why such violence happened," Pathan said in a self-made video.
"There are certain people in BJP, who keep spreading hatred. We kept saying there should be action against such people," Pathan continued.
The tension began when approximately 80 to 100 people gathered in Bhaldarpura around 7:30 pm on Monday, causing distress to the public and affecting road movement.
The police implemented a "communication ban (curfew)" in affected areas under Section 163 to prevent further incidents and maintain peace.
The curfew order excludes police officers and employees on duty, government and administrative officers, students appearing for essential services, and persons related to the fire brigade and various departments.
Pathan alleged that the BJP was attempting to divert attention from real issues by raising the matter of "40-year-old Aurangzeb."
