MUMBAI: In a veiled attack on cousin Raj Thackeray and former ally BJP over the loudspeaker row, chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said the Supreme Court order must be applicable “to all religions across the country, and not just azaan”.
“Just like Demonetisation and lockdown during pandemic was applicable all over the country, the Centre must issue a notification and make it (SC order on loudspeaker) applicable across the country. All religions will have to follow the court order, and that would affect playing of bhajans and kirtans, too,” said the CM in an interview during the launch of a news website on Maharashtra Day, adding that the Centre was a party to the petition.
