However, before taking a two-pronged stance on the loudspeaker issue, Praveen Togadia appealed in Nagpur today to take down the loudspeaker on mosques in the states where the BJP is in power. Even when there was a BJP government in Maharashtra, there were loudspeaker on the mosque; But they were not removed then, he said.
