MNS Chief Raj Thackeray has received a threat letter amid the ongoing loudspeaker row. The letter is written in Urdu. On Wednesday, MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar said that Raj Thackeray has received a threat letter. Nandgaonkar met Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil and apprised him. Later, he quoted saying that “if anything happens to the MNS Chief, we will burn Maharashtra.”
He also said “I have met Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil today about receiving a threat letter over the azaan issue. The letter also contains a threat to Raj Thackeray. His security should be heightened,” quoted Times Now.
In a letter to Maharashtra CM, Thackeray said “After I appealed to all the countrymen to remove the loudspeakers from mosques, the Maharashtra state government is behaving as if it has become senseless. MNS workers were arrested on May 4, just before the movement to implement the decisions given by the Supreme Court of the country and the High Courts of various states. Preventive notices were issued by the police to 28,000 Maharashtra soldiers, thousands were deported and many were imprisoned.”
He added “Why not blow horns on mosques which create noise pollution and disturb the people! Over the past week, I have wondered how the state government is using police force to suppress the soldiers of Maharashtra. Has the state government or police ever carried out such an ‘arrest operation’ to find weapons and terrorist hiding in mosques.”
