Loudspeaker row | Don’t test our patience: Raj Thackeray tells Maharashtra CM
India Today
MNS chief Raj Thackeray slammed Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday for taking against his party workers over the loudspeaker row. He warned the Shiv Sena-led MVA government against “testing the patience” of his party.
Slamming Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over the loudspeakers-on-mosques issue, MNS president Raj Thackeray on Tuesday cautioned the Shiv Sena-led MVA government against “testing the patience” of his party in the matter.
In a letter addressed to the chief minister, Raj, who perhaps for the first time addressed his estranged cousin as “Uddhav Thackeray”, said over 28,000 MNS workers have been served preventive notices, while thousands have been externed.
“This (police action) is for what? To not remove loudspeakers from mosques that are leading to noise pollution?” he questioned.
He said the police are looking for leaders of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena as if they are Pakistani terrorists or ‘Razakars’ under the erstwhile Nizam rule.

“It makes me ponder whether the same high-handedness was shown by the police to find out terrorists or arms hidden in mosques,” the MNS chief wondered.
He said Marathi people and Hindus are watching this stance of the state government.
