Today, on the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami (10th April 2022), Mumbai police detained Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Yashwant Killedar and a taxi driver for playing Hanuman Chalisa in loudspeaker outside 'Shiv Sena Bhawan' in Mumbai.
The police questioned them in connection with the incident. However, no case has been registered so far.
- Before being detained, Killedar told the reporters that the motive of the 'Rath' (his taxi) is to encourage the people to celebrate the festival in a "good way".
"The motive of doing this early morning today is that we want to show that we have prepared a 'Rath', the ones who need it may contact us. We will send the 'Rath' to them. We want to encourage them to celebrate our festival in a good way," he said.

- The MNS leader further slammed the Shiv Sena for "abandoning" Hindutva and said that they did so for the sake of the Chief Ministerial post.
"As far as playing Hanuman Chalisa in front of the Shiv Sena Bhawan is concerned, they have abandoned 'Hindutva' way back in time, Congress and NCP which Bal Thackeray opposed throughout his whole life, Shiv Sena formed a government with them. They have abandoned Hindutva only for the Chief Ministerial post. It is an attempt to wake them up," he said.
- Earlier last week after warnings by MNC chief Raj Thackeray, 'Hanuman Chalisa' was played from loudspeakers at his party's office in Ghatkopar.
The MNS chief said NCP is responsible for the rise of casteist politics in Maharashtra after the formation of his party in 1999.
