BJP leader Kirit Somaiya on Friday led a protest in Mumbai's Mulund area to press for the demand for removal of illegal loudspeakers from certain mosques, stating that they contribute to noise pollution. The protest was held outside the Mulund police station.
"There have been clear orders from the court as well as from senior police officials to remove such illegal loudspeakers," Somaiya said, and warned of staging a protest against those police stations that grant permission to such loudspeakers.
