A top Pune MNS functionary who had differed with party chief Raj Thackeray over the latter’s attack on azaan from loudspeakers atop mosques on Monday said he would remain with the party as his doubts had been completely cleared. Vasant More, who was Pune unit chief of the MNS, said he had met Thackeray during the day and was “100 per cent” satisfied with the talks.
“All my doubts have been cleared. Raj saheb has asked to me attend tomorrow’s rally in Thane. He said I will get answers to all the questions in the rally. I am 100 per cent satisfied. I had been saying since the first day that I am with the MNS and will remain with the MNS, he said. Thackeray had, during his Gudi Padwa rally in Shivaji Park here on April 2, said he would counter azaan from loudspeakers atop mosques with Hanuman Chalisa.
