Even before MNS president Raj Thackeray’s public meeting in Aurangabad today (Raj Thackeray Rally in Aurangabad), the political atmosphere in the state has changed. Raj Thackeray has given an ultimatum to the state government till May 3 to remove the horns on the mosque. Therefore, even in today’s meeting, Raj Thackeray is likely to take an aggressive role by targeting the ruling Mahavikas front. Against this backdrop, Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil has commented on the MNS meeting.
‘Political rallies and events continue in a democracy. It is the job of the police to maintain law and order as well as peace in the state. The entire police department is preparing for this. Therefore, it is expected that no untoward incident will take place. The police are ready to deal with any such incident. I request everyone to cooperate for maintaining social harmony, ‘said the Home Minister.
- Notice sent to Raj Thackeray?
Raj Thackeray’s involvement in religious issues could lead to tensions. Against this background, has the police administration sent a notice to Raj Thackeray before the meeting? This question was asked to Home Minister Valse Patil. Speaking on the occasion, he said that no such notice has been issued, but Raj Thackeray’s meeting has been allowed with conditions.
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Raj Thackeray’s speech in today’s speech about the ruling party in the state and the party’s forthcoming policy regarding mosque bells.
