Let Eid be celebrated with joy on Tuesday, don’t perform aarti: Raj Thackeray’s appeal amid loudspeaker row
India Today
MNS chief Raj Thackeray, who has issued an ultimatum for removal of loudspeakers from mosques in Maharashtra by May 4, appealed to his party's workers on Monday not to do anything to disrupt Eid celebrations on May 3.
Amid the loudspeaker row, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray appealed to his party workers on Monday to not perform aarti or do anything that may disrupt Eid celebrations on May 3.
He tweeted, “Tomorrow is Eid. I have already spoken about it. This festival of the Muslim community should be celebrated with joy. According to what was decided earlier, do not perform aarti on the day of this festival. The issue of loudspeakers is not religious but social.”
He added, “Will tell you the next step tomorrow via a tweet. For now, that’s all.”

This comes after he said at a massive rally in Aurangabad on Sunday that if loudspeakers are not removed from mosques in Maharashtra after Eid, he would ensure that the Hanuman Chalisa was played ‘at double power’ outside Muslim religious sites.
