Addressing a rally outside the Hanuman temple in Dadar in central Mumbai, where the recited "Hanuman Stotra" and "Hanuman Chalisa", he demanded an impartial probe into the matter

If anyone loots a temple by misusing Hindutva, then Hindus will not spare them, he said

Wearing a saffron kurta, he said, "It is unfortunate that those looting Hindus are in power. A robber cannot be asked to probe his robbery. It has to be done impartially"

The Sena (UBT) chief claimed he was worried about what would happen in Kashi and Mathura, referring to the slogan "Ayodhya toh jhanki hai, Kashi, Mathura abhi baaki hain (Ayodhya was a trailer, and Kashi and Mathura are yet to come)"

"We are fierce, innocent, nation-loving Hindus, but not fools," he said. He said Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray awakened Hindus, but they are being hypnotised today

Uddhav Thackeray was accompanied by senior UBT leaders such as Sanjay Raut, Kishori Pednekar, and Subhash Desai.
