Nashik Police Commissioner Deepak Pandey has given a new order regarding loudspeakers amidst the ongoing tussle between Maharashtra Navnirman Sena and the government over Ajan and Hanuman Chalisa in Maharashtra. According to the new circular, all religious places in the district will have to take separate permission to install loudspeakers. With this, he has banned the playing of loudspeakers by MNS workers within 100 meters of the mosque. The Home Department is soon going to issue a similar order for the entire state.
Ban on Hanuman Chalisa within 100 meters of the mosque
Commissioner Deepak Pandey said that we are keeping a close watch on this issue and at any cost we will not allow rifts to be created on the basis of religion. Commissioner Deepak Pandey has also said in his new order that playing Hanuman Chalisa will not be allowed within 100 meters of the mosque. If any event is to be organized there, then its permission will have to be taken from the police first. The police team will also be present there during the event of Hanuman Chalisa.
MNS workers will not be able to play the speaker
Police Commissioner Deepak Pandey said that the workers of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena do not have the right to read Hanuman Chalisa by placing a speaker within 100 meters of the mosque. We will not allow any kind of rift to arise in the society. Their aim is only to create social and religious discord. According to the new order of Nashik Police, playing Hanuman Chalisa, hymn, song or speaker has been banned for 15 minutes before the prayer and 15 minutes after the end of the prayer in 100 meters area of the mosque.
