Bhopal:

Madhya Pradesh Congress state media in-charge Jitu Patwari on Monday said that there is nothing wrong in reciting Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeaker. 

"The recitation of Hanuman Chalisa is necessary. I read it myself. It is a matter of faith. There should be no restriction on the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers," said Mr Patwari while addressing a press conference in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. 

He further stated that the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa is a matter of faith. Hindu holy verses like Sundarkand are recited from place to place, similarly, Hanuman Chalisa is recited, he added.

"I myself organize a big event every year in which Hanuman Chalisa is recited over loudspeakers. But this should not be done only out of vengeance. So there should be no dispute on this," he added.
