Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring in a Uniform Civil Code at the earliest and bring a law on population control. He cancelled his visit to Ayodhya. At a rally in Pune today, Raj Thackeray said, "Aurangabad should be renamed Shambhajinagar. Talking about his visit to Ayodhya, Raj Thackeray said, "For him, a trap was laid by those who did not like his opposition to loudspeakers.''

Raj Thackeray said, "But I did not fall into this trap because I did not want my MNS workers to go to jail. He also said, "I had tweeted about postponing my visit to Ayodhya two days ago. I deliberately made the statement so that everyone could have a chance to give their feedback. Those who were against my Ayodhya visit were trying to trap me. I decided not to get into this controversy.'' MNS chief Raj Thackeray appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to implement a uniform civil code in the country soon. "I request the Prime Minister to bring a Uniform Civil Code at the earliest, bring a law on population control and change the name of Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar. ''

He also said, "When I asked my workers to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers, the Rana couple (Ravi and Navneet Rana) said that they would recite Hanuman Chalisa in Matoshree. Is Matoshree a mosque? What happened between the Shiv Sainiks and the Rana couple later, is known to all. ''
