Karishma Bhosale who stays in the Mankhurd region of Mumbai has alleged that she was bullied by Muslim residents for raising her voice against the blaring of azaan in high volume from a neighbourhood mosque in her area.
In a series of tweets, Karishma shared what exactly happened at the mosque on Twitter. She alleged that within minutes of visiting the mosque for asking them to lower the volume of the loudspeaker, scores of people gathered in the mosque, including men and women and entered into an altercation with her.
Furthermore, the girl has also shared a Whatsapp message in which Mankhurd MLA Abu Azmi has reportedly asked the victim to leave her residence if she has a problem with the sound of azaan. Azmi reputedly accused the victim of inciting riots by raising her voice against azaan.
Now Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party has come in support of Bhosale.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's leader Mahesh Jadhav has come out in support of Karishma Bhosale's fight. He said,"We met Karishma and Raj Thackeray has promised to be with her in this fight. Karishma shouldn't pay attention to people who are threatening her to leave her home.
He further said,"Abu Azmi should stay within his limits. If you want to live in Maharashtra, you have to live within the limits. Despite being an MLA, Abu Azmi should be ashamed of using such language about women. No one will tolerate such harassment anymore".
