Pednekar said, “Loudspeakers should be used as per the noise pollution rules. If someone violates the prescribed decibel limit, the loudspeaker should be removed. MNS workers shouldn’t take the law into their hands otherwise their life will be wasted attending court dates.”

Addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad on Sunday, Thackeray set May 3 as the deadline for removing loudspeakers from mosques.

The MNS chief had accused the NCP chief of doing caste politics in Maharashtra and said he was allergic to the word ‘Hindu’. The MNS chief had said that if the Uttar Pradesh government can remove loudspeakers, then what is stopping the Maharashtra government led by his cousin Uddhav Thackeray from doing so.

However, in a veiled attack on Thackeray, the chief minister had on Sunday said he does not pay attention to “new players” of Hindutva. Without naming the MNS, the CM also said the party was making experiments to see if any cause was working for it or not.
