Sunday, February 9, 05:58 PM: The MNS Supremo, Raj Thackeray, has started addressing the gathering of saffron party workers and leaders at Azad Maidan, Mumbai. Thackeray, while sniping at Muslims protesting against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, asked them who are they showing their “strength” to, by the whole protesting episode across the country. He said that the CAA is not against the Indian Muslims, then what is compelling them to agitate on streets. “I don’t understand why the Muslims who were protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act, were doing so. CAA is not for the Muslims who were born here. To whom are you showing your strength?,” roared Raj Thackeray while admonishing the protesting Muslims.
