Bal Thackeray would never have thought …: Fadnavis vs Uddhav on Hanuman Chalisa row
India Today
BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis addressed a rally in Mumbai on Sunday. Attacking CM Uddhav Thackeray, he said his father Bal Thackeray would have never thought that reciting the Hanuman Chalisa would be a crime under his son's rule.
A day after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed a massive rally in Mumbai, the state’s former CM and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis took to the stage to do the same. Referring to the Mahabharata, he said Sunday’s rally was the ‘Pandavas’ sabha’ while Shiv Sena’s programme on Saturday was the ‘Kauravas’ sabha’.
Attacking Uddhav Thackeray over the Hanuman Chalisa row, Devendra Fadnavis said, “Would Balasaheb Thackeray ever have thought that reciting the Hanuman Chalisa would be a crime under his son’s rule while visiting the tomb of Aurangzeb would be ignored?”
Last month, Independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi were arrested in Mumbai after they threatened to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Uddhav Thackeray’s home.
