‘Taj Mahal Is Not The Symbol Of Love,’ BJP MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi

Assam BJP leader Rupjyoti Kurmi has said that the Taj Mahal, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, is not a “symbol of love.” The Assam BJP leader also questioned Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s love for his beloved fourth wife Mumtaz Mahal, in whose name he built the Taj Mahal, which is considered an eternal monument of love and visited by thousands of tourists from across the world every year.

“Taj Mahal is not the symbol of Love. Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his 4th wife Mumtaz. If he loved Mumtaz, then why he married three times more after the death of Mumtaz,” Rupjyoti Kurmi was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI.

Kurmi also demanded an investigation to find out what happened to Shah Jahan’s three other wives. “If the Taj Mahal is considered as an epitome of the love of Shah Jahan and his fourth wife Mumtaj Mahal, then what happened to his other three wives? An investigation should be initiated,” the Assam BJP leader demanded.
