Raj Thackeray had given an ultimatum to the government till May 3 to take down the horns on the mosque. This had created an atmosphere of tension in the state. Raj Thackeray had warned that Hanuman Chalisa would be chanted twice in front of the mosque where prayers would be held on May 4. After that, on May 4, there was a large police presence in the entire state. On that day, in almost 90% of the mosques, the first azan of the morning was held without a bell. Therefore, in the state, there was no horn on the mosque or Hanuman Chalise. However, it was seen that Raj Thackeray’s trumpet movement flop.
