Vishwa Thacker – Mumbai Ucnensored, 4th April 2022
On the account of Gudi Padwa, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray warned the state government to put an end to loudspeakers outside mosques or they would play Hanuman Chalisa in front of them.
“Why do you need loudspeakers outside mosques? Were there loudspeakers when the religion was founded. If the government does not remove these MNS workers will play Hanuman Chalisa,” said Raj Thackeray addressing the rally at Shivaji Park on Saturday.
Clarifying that he is not against any religion, he added “I am not against prayers or any particular religion. I do take pride in my own religion”.
He appealed to PM Narendra Modi to raid Madrassas in Mumbai. “Pakistani supporters are residing in these shanties. Mumbai Police know what’s happening there. Our MLAs are using them for vote banks. They don’t even have an Aadhaar Card, but the MLAs get them made”, he said.
He even criticised Nationalist Congress Party and accused Sharad Pawar and his policies as a way of dividing people on the basis of caste. “If we do not get out of caste politics, then how will we become a Hindu”, he said.
He praised the government led by Yogi Adityanath and the progress made by them in Uttar Pradesh. He said, “I am happy to see that Uttar Pradesh is progressing. We want the same development in Maharashtra. I will visit Ayodhya, but today I will not tell you when. I will also talk about Hindutva.”
He also demanded pensions given to MLAs and MPs be revoked and their farmhouses be taken away. He said, “The MLA and MP pensions should be stopped. If you want to give homes, then give to the poor people who live in the slums. Why provide the MLAs houses? If you have to provide homes, then take their farmhouses away and then give them houses,”
