State NCP chief and water resources minister Jayant Patil on Saturday termed Raj Thackeray’s loudspeaker remark a “deliberate attempt” to create communal tension in the state.

Patil claimed that people will now see the entry of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

“It is an attempt to start a communal rift and untoward incidents,” said Patil, reacting to MNS ultimatum to remove loudspeakers from mosques by May 3.

Alleging the BJP hand behind the demand, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut termed Raj Thackeray a new “Hindu Owaisi” and MNS a “new Hindutva MIM”.

He said intelligence inputs suggest that a conspiracy is on to create communal tension and recommend President’s rule by dismissing the MVA government.
