MP Navneet Rana and her husband, MLA Ravi Rana, were detained after attempting to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s residence. Today, they told the media they chose to read the lines because “Maharashtra is in severe danger.” The arrest occurred amid a debate over the use of loudspeakers during Azan, and the state administration claimed that the Ranas were attempting to stir the public and stoke the flames at the BJP’s request.
Ms. Rana told the media that she had been accused of politicizing Hanuman Chalisa “When there is a grave threat, the Hanuman Chalisa and Sankatmochan (another name for Lord Hanuman) are recalled. Maharashtra, in my opinion, is now under grave jeopardy “,

After the police sought that their bail is revoked, a Mumbai court issued letters to the couple earlier today. The pair allegedly broke their bail terms by communicating to the media about the case ahead of their journey to Delhi to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the police.
The Ranas has said that their trip to Delhi is intended to draw attention to their treatment in prison. Navneet Rana alleged that she was denied medical care despite the doctor’s recommendation.
They talked about their time in prison and how they felt. “Had Balasaheb Thackeray been present, this would never have occurred,” Ravi Rana remarked. Uddhav Thackeray, on the other hand, is afraid of women “,
According to Ranas, Uddhav Thackeray rose to power under the guise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “He backstabbed the BJP after gaining the votes. He also backstabbed Balasaheb, “Mr. Rana said. “Allow them to seek authority in their name. They will be shown by Ram and Hanuman devotees, “his wife added.
“We have taken it before the public as is our right under the constitution because of the manner we were in prison for 13-14 days and the way a lady was handled… the way we suffered owing to the directives of a Chief Minister,” Ravi Rana said, denying they had broken the court’s order.
Mr. Rana said his wife got “the type of treatment reserved for convicts during British control,” despite the jail management admitting they were “under considerable pressure from the Chief Minister.”
“I informed Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla of my mistreatment. This is my responsibility. I supplied all the data, and it would be presented to the privileges committee on the 23rd, “Navneet Rana said.
“I don’t believe I should have been charged with anything. You claim I’m not allowed to bring up the Hanuman Chalisa. In a democratic democracy, how could it happen… How can I offer anybody justice if I can’t fight for myself? “she said.
The Ranas are accused of sedition and inciting racial hatred via their words. The Bombay High Court backed the state’s action against the Ranas, stating the government was “right in its fear of a law-and-order situation.”
“A proclamation that a person will recite religious lyrics at another person’s home or in public violates that person’s liberty… Great power comes with great responsibility, and those in positions of public trust are required to behave appropriately, “According to the judges.
