MNS chief Raj Thackeray, during a public rally in Pune, urged PM Modi to bring the Uniform Civil Code and population control law.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray held a public rally in Pune on May 22. At the event, Raj Thackeray requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring Uniform Civil Code and population control law.
“I request the Prime Minister to bring the Uniform Civil Code at the earliest, also bring a law on population control and change the name of Aurangabad to Sambhaji Nagar,” said Thackeray.
Addressing the MNS workers at the rally, Thackeray lashed out at the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government and accused them of allowing the AIMIM to win the Lok Sabha seat of Aurangabad. He said, “The MVA ruling party is responsible for allowing AIMIM to spread its wings. It is shocking that an AIMIM candidate (Imtiaz Jaleel) defeated a Shiv Sena candidate (Chandrakant Khaire) and got elected as MP in Aurangabad”.
“I thought Maharashtra would start boiling after AIMIM elected representatives went to Aurangzeb's tomb and offered flowers to the Mughal king who had come to this region to kill Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. But Sharad Pawar saheb said Aurangzeb was here to spread his kingdom,” added Raj Thackeray.
Raj Thackeray said that his Ayodhya tour was postponed because of his hip bone joint replacement. “I am making it clear so that there is no misinformation spread by the media,” he said.
“Two days ago, I tweeted about postponing my Ayodhya visit. I intentionally gave the statement to allow everyone to give their reactions. Those who were against my Ayodhya visit were trying to trap me, but I decided not to fall into this controversy,” Thackeray added.
