MUMBAI: Taking a dig at Raj Thackeray’s MNS, the Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said that the MNS was playing the BJP’s loudspeaker since the BJP led Centre had given Raj relief in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. Raut said that the MNS was like the flame which flutters before it finally dies out.
"Shiv Sena chief late Balasaheb Thackeray had also taken a stand on loudspeakers in mosques. But this is the BJP's loudspeaker. The BJP has given relief in the action taken by the ED and after that this loudspeaker has started. The loudspeaker was off for a year and a half. We don't need to be taught Hindutva, it is in our blood. When Hindutva was attacked, BJP and its loudspeakers were not in front. Balasaheb Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena have fought for Hindutva. Forget the story of yesterday, the night is gone… the flame shutters before it goes out and that's what has happened," Raut said.
