Loudspeaker controversy: BJP ally and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar calls it 'useless issue'
Highlights Nitish Kumar said discussion of removing loudspeakers from religious places is 'useless' Chief Minister said that we do not agree with all these things in Bihar Close to 22,000 unauthorised loudspeakers have been removed in UP Loudspeaker controversy: Amidst the raging controversy over loudspeakers across the country, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar bluntly said that the discussions of removing loudspeakers from religious places and banning their use is 'futile.' Loudspeaker controversy A day back, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray lauded the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government's decision to remove loudspeakers from religious structures, and took a dig at his cousin and Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, saying the western state unfortunately has “bhogis”. Close to 22,000 unauthorised loudspeakers were removed from religious places and volume of over 42,000 was set to permissible limits across Uttar Pradesh following a government order. Raj Thackeray recently gave an ultimatum to the Maharashtra government to remove loudspeakers from religious places, especially mosques, in the state by May 3, which has led to a political row in the state over the issue.
