MNS chief warns of befitting reply to rallies against CAA and NRC

Mumbai, February 9

Extending his support to the new citizenship law and the proposed National Register of Citizens, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday warned of giving a “befitting reply” to rallies being held against the CAA and the NRC.

In the afternoon, the MNS took out a huge march from Girgaum Chowpatty to Azad Maidan in south Mumbai demanding eviction of illegal Pakistani and Bangladeshi infiltrators from the country. The morcha was culminated at Azad Maidan.

Addressing the gathering of thousands of MNS activists at the Maidan, Thackeray said, “henceforth a stone will be answered with a stone and a sword with a sword”.

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief himself joined the “mahamorcha” on foot from Hindu Gymkhana to Metro Junction. Thackeray also wondered “opposition” of Muslims to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the NRC. — PTI
