In a public meeting held on Friday in Meera-Bhayander, Maharashtra, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray said in clear terms that if the state government tries to make Hindi compulsory from the first grade, MNS will not back down from closing the school.
He warned Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directly and said that no attempt to impose Hindi in Maharashtra will be tolerated. This statement has come at a time when the dispute in the state over the triple policy is deepening.
What did Raj Thackeray say?
Raj Thackeray said that efforts are being made to impose Hindi in place of Marathi. He alleged that this is an “experiment”, so that Mumbai could be gradually connected to Gujarat. According to him, Hindi is just 200 years old language, while the history of Marathi is 2,500 to 3,000 years old.
Raj Thackeray lashed out at the committee constituted by Devendra Fadnavis and said that even before the government had tried, MNS had closed their shops.
Since when is the language dispute?
Recently, MNS workers assaulted a shopkeeper, who refused to talk in Marathi. Two orders of the BJP government, in which it was a matter of making Hindi compulsory from the first, has been withdrawn after the protest. But Chief Minister Fadnavis again said that the Trishag policy will be implemented, but the committee will decide to decide the class. On this, Thackeray said, “If the government imposes Hindi again, we will close the school.”
Dubo-Dubo will kill Nishikant Dubey- Raj Thackeray
Raj Thackeray gave an open challenge to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s ‘Dipp-Pattak Karge’ comment and said, “Dubey you will come to Mumbai, Dubo-Dubo will kill him.” After independence, he also cited the alleged anti -Marathi policies of Morarji Desai and Vallabhbhai Patel and said that attacks on Bihari migrants in Gujarat do not become an issue, but small incidents in Maharashtra catch fire.
Raj Thackeray said that an attempt is being made to impose Hindi under the guise of Hindutva, which will not be accepted. He appealed to the Maharashtra people to speak in Marathi and encourage others to adopt it too. Thackeray also clarified that the issue of language is not only cultural, but also with political consciousness and regional identity.
