Shiv Sena MP on Wednesday asserted that there was no violation of loudspeaker guidelines in Maharashtra and said no one should teach Hindutva to his party.
Several mosques in and near Mumbai kept loudspeakers off during azaan this morning following a threat by Raj Thackeray, chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers wherever azaan is recited on them.
Mumbai police on Wednesday detained a number of MNS workers gathered outside party chief Raj Thackeray's residence here, a day after the latter urged people to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers.
Notably, it was Raj Thackeray, who began the loudspeaker uproar after he warned the current Uddhav Thackeray Maharashtra government to remove loudspeakers from mosques owing to the noise, or else his party will install speakers and play Hanuman Chalisa outside all the mosques.
