After the step towards the Taj Mahal CM Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh reportedly left the Taj Mahal from an official tourism booklet. Som said, “Many people were pained to see that the Taj Mahal was removed from the list of places (tourist destinations). What type of history?
This viral statement given by the BJP MLA during his visit to Meerut district stand with the fresh controversy. In his statement Som said, “Mughal emperors Babur, Akbar and Aurangzeb as “traitors” and said their names would be removed from pages of history”.
Sangeet Som the legislator of Sardhana said, “the Taj Mahal was built by an emperor who imprisoned his own father and had targeted many Hindus in his kingdom and Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife and was imprisoned till the end of his days by his son Aurangzeb”.

The lives and achievement of the “real great men” of the country like Maharana Pratap and Shivaji would be taught in schools and colleges”, Mr. Som said.
