Is Matoshree a mosque…? Raj Thackeray`s BIG statement amid Hanuman Chalisa row

Hanuman Chalisa row: Amid the ongoing Hanuman Chalisa and Navneet Rana row in Maharashtra, MNS Chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday (May 22) asked if Matoshree is a mosque where one cannot recite Hanuman Chalisa outside Uddhav Thackeray’s residence. While addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Pune, the MNS chief said, “After I asked my workers to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers, the Rana couple (Ravi and Navneet Rana) said they will recite Hanuman Chalisa at Matoshree. Is Matoshree a mosque? Everyone knows what happened between Shiv Sainiks and the Rana couple later, reported ANI. The statement came in reference to the Hanuman Chalisa row, in which, Navneet Rana and her husband Ravi Rana were arrested after unrest broke out after their announcement that they will recite Hanuman Chalisa outside Matoshree.

Addressing the rally, Thackeray also talked about the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code in the country and urged the prime minister to bring about the law.

“I request the Prime Minister to bring Uniform Civil Code at the earliest, also bring a law on population control and change the name of Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar,” ANI quoted Thackeray as saying.

About his much-hyped Ayodhya trip that he recently announced was postponed due to health reasons, Thackeray 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.”
