Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on September 8 said that the State Government would bring ‘Wagh Nakh’ (metal claws used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) in November, after which it will be kept at a spot for everyone to visit.
“On October 03, we will be signing an MoU in London and in November will bring the ‘Wagh Nakh’…” Sudhir Mungantiwar told ANI.
“As per the MoU, we will not be able to take Wagh Nakh in all the districts of Maharashtra, which we had earlier thought, instead we will keep Wagh Nakh at a particular spot where all the people will be able to visit…” he added.
He further mentioned that ‘Wagh Nakh’ ( tiger claws used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to kill the general of Bijapur Sultanate, Afzal Khan, in 1659) is not just a thing for the people of the state but a symbol of faith.
