Matoshree-Hanuman Chalisa Row: The Shiv Sena in its newspaper Saamana says the BJP is responsible for Hanuman Chalisa fiasco by the the Ranas.

"Chanting of Hanuman Chalisa is not banned in this state, then why did they (Amravati MP Navneet Rana & husband MLA Ravi Rana) want to chant it in front of Matoshreee (CM Uddhav Thackeray's residence)? BJP's frustrated mind is behind this

"The Ranas wanted to chant Hanuman Chalisa at a national level. They should've instead chanted it at the residences of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah," the paper said.

Amravati MP Navneet Rana and her husband MLA Ravi Rana have been sent to 14 days of judicial custody after they were produced before the Bandra Magistrate Court on Sunday.

The magistrate court dismissed the plea for police remand and the bail application for Navneet Rana will be next heard on April 29. The police had asked the court for the custody of the couple for 7 days.

Mumbai Police on Saturday evening arrested MLA Ravi Rana and his wife, MP Navneet Rana, both Independent legislators from eastern Maharashtra, for allegedly "creating enmity between different groups" after escorting them out of their house in suburban Khar amid high drama.

The development came hours after the couple cancelled their plan to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's private residence `Matoshree'.
