"The people in India want that any signs related to tyrant ruler Aurangzeb, who killed lakhs of Hindus, converted lakhs of Hindus and raped lakhs of Hindu women, should not be there in the country. In Kashi Vishwanath, the people want a temple there. I have said what the people want from the stage," Sangeet Som told ABP News.

On the question whether Kashi and Mathura will be demolished like Babri, he said, "Sooner or later, this will happen."

He said that Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh have 'adopted the colour' of Aurangzeb.
