Thackeray also claimed that he had forcibly removed mosque loudspeakers during Uddhav Thackeray’s tenure as chief minister, leading to 17,000 cases being filed against his supporters.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray again raised the issue of loudspeakers on mosques during a rally in Amravati. Elections will be held in Maharashtra on November 20 and counting of votes will take place on November 23. He alleged that some Muslim leaders were issuing fatwas from mosques to seek votes for Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Regarding this he said that give me power and I will ensure that there is not a single loudspeaker on any mosque in Maharashtra.
Thackeray also claimed that he had forcibly removed mosque loudspeakers during Uddhav Thackeray’s tenure as chief minister, leading to 17,000 cases being filed against his supporters. Taking aim at Sharad Pawar, Thackeray called him ‘Sant Sharadchandra Pawar’, accusing him of instigating discord between the OBC and Maratha communities. Taking aim at Uddhav Thackeray’s recent call for Shivaji Maharaj temples in all districts, Thackeray asked, “Are statues not enough that temples need to be built in every district?”
Meanwhile, party chief Raj Thackeray said that MNS will contest the Maharashtra Assembly elections on its own without any alliance. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief had supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s candidature in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and campaigned for the BJP-led Mahayuti candidates in the state. MNS will contest the assembly elections independently, he said, adding that they will contest more seats than any other party. The firebrand leader, known for his oratory skills, said, “We will contest the elections with full vigour. After the elections, MNS will be in the government. MNS will contest the maximum number of seats among all the political parties.”
