"MNS Was Not Following The Right And Suggested Route": Devendra Fadnavis

Several workers of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) were detained in Thane's Mira Road this morning when they took out a march to counter the protests against the 'slapgate' incident, in which MNS workers assaulted a food stall owner for not speaking Marathi. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis trashed the allegations that police denied permission for the rally. "In Maharashtra, everyone has the right to take out a protest march. Anyone can do after taking police permission. There are traffic issues, stampede risks etc. The police commissioner told me they (MNS leaders) were asked to change the route, but they were adamant. So police stopped them," he said.
