Hanuman Chalisa Row: BJP has alleged misbehavior with a woman MP Navneet Rana, who was sent to jail after announcing to read Hanuman Chalisa outside Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray’s house ‘Matoshree’. Former CM of the state Devendra Fadnavis said that Navneet Rana is being misbehaved in the jail. He said that the Uddhav Thackeray government is extremely intolerant and they should tell on what basis Navneet Rana and her husband Ravi Rana have been booked for sedition. Fadnavis said that after the announcement of reading Hanuman Chalisa, how can a case of sedition be imposed on anyone. He said that if reading Hanuman Chalisa is treason then all of us will read and chant it every day.
Fadnavis said that a woman MP is being misbehaved in jail. Comments are being made on them on the basis of caste. They are neither being given water nor are they being allowed to use the washroom in the jail. On the other hand, Shiv Sena has explained the definition of Hindutva to the BJP. Shiv Sena gave a lesson to BJP saying that Hindutva ideology is a culture, not anarchy. Shiv Sena claimed in the editorial of its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ that BJP was behind whatever independent MP Navneet Rana and her husband and MLA Ravi Rana did.
Why Hanuman Chalisa is not read in PM’s office
Let us inform that the Rana couple was arrested on Saturday. He had spoken of reciting Hanuman Chalisa outside Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s residence ‘Matoshree’, which enraged Shiv Sena workers and staged a protest in front of the couple’s residence. It was alleged in the Marathi daily that the Rana couple wanted to spoil the atmosphere of the city. They should do all this in the office premises of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the editorial said.
Hindutva is doing well in Uddhav Thackeray’s government
“Hindutva is doing well in Maharashtra as it is headed by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray,” the Sena mouthpiece said. There is no ban on the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa in the state, but why was the insistence on doing it outside Matoshree?
Shivsena told Navneet Rana a liar
Shiv Sena said, ‘Hanuman is a follower of Ram who walks on the path of truth. Navneet Rana, whose base itself is based on lies, is doing politics in the name of Hanuman Chalisa and the BJP is glorifying it. “If BJP wants such fake people to recite Hanuman Chalisa, then it is an insult to Lord Ram and Hanuman,” the Shiv Sena said. The party claimed that Navneet Rana won the 2019 elections with the help of “secular” parties like the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), but has now joined the BJP camp.
