MUMBAI: Opposing the bail pleas of Independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana, the police on Friday said that the plan to read 'Hanuman Chalisa' at chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's private residence in Mumbai was a big plot to challenge the law and order situation to such an extent that the recommendation can be made for dissolution of the present government by the governor of Maharashtra.
“The submissions advanced on behalf of the accused to plead their innocence is that if they want to chant 'Hanuman Chalisa', it is an act of prayer, therefore, how can it be an offence?.. alternatively, to say that praying to God and chanting prayers is an offence in the regime of present government.
