After he gave a name to play the Hanuman Chalisa outdoors mosques, 90-92 per cent of mosques didn’t use loudspeakers for his or her morning azaan (Muslim name to prayer), Thackeray claimed.
The MNS chief had warned of beginning his agitation towards mosque loudspeakers from Wednesday.
Mumbai has 1,104 mosques of which 135 used loudspeakers through the morning namaz on Wednesday, he claimed, looking for to know what motion was being taken towards these mosques ‘which violated the regulation.’
“Why is motion taken towards our staff whereas nothing is being completed towards these breaking legal guidelines? This difficulty will not be restricted to the morning azaan alone. If a loudspeaker is getting used for namaz four-five instances a day, our individuals will proceed to play the Hanuman Chalisa at double the amount. This (protest) will not be restricted for a day,” he mentioned.
If any temple is violating the norms laid down by the Supreme Courtroom, then it must also observe the rules, Thackeray mentioned.
If mosques have to make use of loudspeakers, they need to stick with the decibel restrict prescribed by the Supreme Courtroom, he added.
Earlier within the day, Mumbai police detained a variety of MNS staff gathered outdoors Raj Thackeray’s residence right here.
