A top MNS functionary in Pune, who had on Monday at odds with party chief Raj Thackeray over the attack on loudspeakers over mosques, said he would stay with the party as his doubts were completely dispelled. MNS Pune unit chief Vasant More said he had met Thackeray earlier in the day and was “100 per cent” satisfied with the talks.

“All my doubts are cleared. Raj sahib has asked me to attend tomorrow’s rally in Thane. He said that I will get answers to all the questions in the rally. I am 100% satisfied. I was saying from day one that I am with MNS and will remain with MNS. Thackeray had said during the Gudi Padwa rally at Shivaji Park here on April 2 that he would fight the azaan with the Hanuman Chalisa over loudspeakers over mosques.

More said at the time that he needed to take an inclusive approach and this would mean that Thackeray’s decree would be difficult to implement in his civic ward. More, whose term ended a few weeks ago, represented the Pune civic ward with a large Muslim population.
