In the midst of the Loudspeaker Row in Maharashtra, NCP leader Asif Sheikh has demanded for the arrest of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray.
"A case should be filed against Raj Thackeray under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and he should be arrested for making such demands. I have written a letter to Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil to take action against Thackeray," the NCP leader told ANI.
"Law should be equal for everyone. Whoever violates the law must be punished," he added.
On Sunday, Thackeray said that the Muslims should understand that "religion is not above law and country."
The MNS chief has asked the Hindus to "wait till May 3" and play Hanuman Chalisa in front of all such mosques that don't take down the loudspeakers.
Guidelines on the usage of loudspeakers are likely to be released this week.
As per reports, Thackeray is set to hold meetings with top MNS leaders at his residence today.
