Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray on Thursday congratulated Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for removing loudspeakers from mosques and other places of worship.
“I wholeheartedly congratulate and stand grateful to the Yogi government for having removed the loudspeakers from religious places, specially the masjids. Unfortunately in Maharashtra we don’t have any ‘yogi’; what we have are only ‘bhogis’ (hedonists). Here’s hoping and praying good sense prevails…,” Thackeray tweeted.
The MNS chief criticised Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi government for its alleged inaction on the use of loudspeakers at places of worship.
Earlier this month, the party gave the Shiv Sena-led government an ultimatum to remove loudspeakers from mosques before May 3. While announcing a public rally on May 1 at Aurangabad, Thackeray told reporters, “It is neither a social nor religious issue. It is to give a befitting reply to people who consider their religion to be more important than law.”
“If you play the loudspeakers in mosques five times a day, then we will play Hanuman Chalisa in front of mosques in the same manner,” the MNS chief added.
