Facing embarrassment after postponing his Ayodhya tour following a threat from a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray is unlikely to drift from his new-found Hindutva agenda in his rally at Pune on Sunday.
“He has declared that he will talk about the circumstances around which his tour got postponed. But as far as we know, the party has not given up on our agenda of illegal loudspeakers in mosques. He will push the issue further,” said a senior MNS leader, privy to developments.
The leader said that there is no question of dropping the issue of loudspeakers. “The party and its workers have been patient for few weeks now; first over the police action against us and then over the Lok Sabha MP’s threat issue. We expect him to give a befitting reply to all. There will be fireworks tomorrow for sure,” he said.
