Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 10 (ANI): Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Sandeep Deshpande on Sunday slammed the Uddhav Thackrey-led state government in the state for detaining its leader for playing Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeaker in front of Shiv Sena Bhavan, questioning if the Bhavan is a mosque.
“Is Shiv Sena Bhawan a mosque where one gets detained for playing Hanuman Chalisa in front of it? Mumbai police should give an answer for this. Today it was Ram Navami and Hanuman Chalisa was being played. Is it the Thackrey government or Taliban government operating in the state?,” said Deshpande to ANI.
The leader further remarked that the Shiv Sena’s ‘Hindutva’ is over after this incident of detention.
