‘Join hands to save this city': Aaditya Thackeray to Mumbaikars
MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Monday launched the party's mobilisation campaign titled 'Ladha Aaplya Mumbaicha' (Fight for our Mumbai), where he expressed the need to fight for Mumbai on the lines of the historic Samyukta Maharashtra movement in the 1950s. 'They (the BJP) want to take away Mumbai from the Marathi manoos and gift it to Adani,' he said. 'Come and join the battle to save this city.' Aaditya was speaking at a gathering at Kalidas Auditorium in Mulund, where he made a presentation to show how lands across Mulund, Kurla, Malvani and Deonar had been allocated to the Adani group in the name of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. 'All Dharavi residents should get homes in Dharavi only and not elsewhere,' he said, adding that the BJP, to 'serve its master', wanted to hand over Mumbai to him. Hitting out at the BJP-Adani liaison, Aaditya said that to clean up the Deonar dumping ground for Adani's Dharavi project, the BMC would have to spend over ₹2,000 crore. 'And to recover this money, the BMC has proposed to levy a garbage collection tax on Mumbai's citizens,' he said. Referring to Eknath Shinde by his Thackeray-given moniker Bhrashtanath Mindhe (Corrupt and Subservient), he alleged that he had played a role in the BJP's plan to give Mumbai to Adani. Pointing out that Monday was the anniversary of Hindu king Chhatrapati Shivaji, Aaditya lamented that it was also a time when Mumbai, Maharashtra and the Marathi manoos were in danger. 'As they failed in their plan to separate Mumbai from Maharashtra, they are now conspiring to take it from the Marathi manoos by handing the city to the Adani group,' he said. Aaditya emphasised that once the city fell into the hands of a businessman, the people's representatives would have no control. 'So we will have to fight for Mumbai like we did during the Samyukta Maharashtra movement. This fight is not of a political party but of all Mumbaikars. Come and join it to save Mumbai,' said Aaditya in what sounded like the Sena (UBT')s campaign theme for the upcoming BMC polls. The Mumbai civic polls are crucial for the Sena (UBT), which suffered a serious setback in last year's assembly elections, winning only 20 seats in the state, 10 of these in Mumbai. The BMC has been the Shiv Sena's and Thackeray family's source of strength and influence for decades. Aaditya also pointed out how all his allegations regarding corruption in the BMC and infrastructure projects in Mumbai had turned out to be true. 'I was the first to raise my voice on the cement road scam,' he said. 'Today, we can all see the condition of the roads and the quality of work. In October 2024, I warned about corruption in the Thane-Borivali belt, and now the Supreme Court has forced the authorities to cancel the tender.' Aaditya clarified that his party had no personal conflict with anyone, including Adani. 'But if you charge at Mumbai, we will stand in front of you, we will fight and we will win,' he said.

Teachers' associations want rollback of 3-lang policy
Pune: Over 20 associations and groups working in the education sector have written to the state govt asking it to scrap the recently introduced compulsory third language in Stds I to V and revert to the two-language policy adopted until now. Schools are set reopen for the new academic year on June 16. The controversy started when govt issued an order on April 16 stating that Hindi will be compulsory as the third language. When it ran into opposition, school education minister Dada Bhuse, on April 22, announced that Hindi was not compulsory, it could be any other language. However, teachers' associations and education experts have told govt to scrap the three-language policy until Std V and issue a fresh GR to this effect. Mahendra Ganpule, spokesperson for Maharashtra School Principals' Federation, said, "Until now, in local body-run schools, Marathi was the first language and English the second or vice versa. Hindi was added in Std VI. We want that system to continue." The letter also opposes Bhuse's statements on making military training part of the curriculum from Std I and seeks a discussion with education experts before new changes are decided. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo Vasant Kalpande of Shikshan Vikas Manch said the lack of dialogue between govt and stakeholders was a problem. "Before every decision, there should be a healthy discussion between govt and the stakeholders that the decision affects. This should be a statewide discussion and not limited to certain centres. But lately, there has been no dialogue at all and decisions are being announced without considering anything. We oppose this," Kalpande said. Until the physical abilities of the children are fully developed, military training is useless and will likely harm the students in Std I and II, the letter added. Sushil Shejule, a member of Marathi Abhyas Kendra, wrote the letter on behalf of teachers' organisations. He said that the organisations want govt to either cancel the GR issued on April 16 or issue a revised GR rolling back the three-language policy. "There is a lot of confusion among schools because the first GR still stands. The minister saying something orally doesn't hold much value. It has to come in writing," he added. quote Even Sainik Schools start from Std VI and there is no scientific link proving that implementing military education will increase patriotism. Children at that age won't understand concepts of nation, a soldier's training, or their duties. Such military education may lead the country to a dictatorship. Hence, we oppose it Sushil Shejule I Marathi Abhyas Kendra Member

After 32 years, Satara to host Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan
The last time the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan was held in Satara, the Babri Masjid had just been demolished, and the country was in turmoil. There was also a movement to rename Marathwada University as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar University. This was the 66th edition of the Sammelan, and the eminent playwright Vidyadhar Gokhale was the chairman. 'It is customary for the president of a Sammelan to reflect on pressing concerns of the country in their speeches, and these were the two major issues,' says Prof Milind Joshi, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal. The Mahamandal has announced that the forthcoming 99th edition of the Sammelan will be held in Satara. This unanimous decision was made during a meeting of the All-India Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal in Pune. 'The meeting was attended by Vice President Guruyya Swami, Executive Officer Sunitaraje Pawar, Treasurer Vinod Kulkarni, and representatives from all associated, affiliated, and constituent institutions,' said Prof Joshi. The Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan is an annual conference by and for Marathi literary figures. The first edition was held in 1878, when Mahadev Govind Ranade—a social reformer, writer, and judge—was the chairman. Since then, the event has been one of the most important platforms for discussions and debates in the Marathi language. The 98th Sammelan was held in February this year in Delhi and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Shahupuri branch of the Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad and the Mavala Foundation will be responsible for the event. They had been trying to host the event for 12 years. Satara has hosted the Sammelan twice before: in 1905, with the venerable Raghunath Karandikar at the helm, and in 1962, when N V Gadgil was the head. That was the 44th edition of the meet. 'Our Shahupuri branch has played an active role in gaining classical language status for Marathi,' said Prof Joshi. Others who wished to host the event included Sadanand Sahitya Mandal (Audumbar), the Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad Ichalkaranji Branch, and the Dakshin Maharashtra Sahitya Sabha (Kolhapur). Satara was selected after the committee in charge of selection visited all applicant organisations. The Sammelan will return to its 1993 venue, Chhatrapati Shahu Stadium, which can host 25,000 people across 14 acres. Among the architectural highlights of the address will be the main pavilion, two other pavilions, space for a major book exhibition, and sites for poetry and ghazal renditions. Food will also be available at the venue. 'The venue is within walking distance from the Satara bus stand and centrally located, ensuring easy access for local and visiting literary enthusiasts. Behind the stadium lies an 8-acre police parade ground, which will be used for parking,' said Prof Joshi. Dipanita Nath is interested in the climate crisis and sustainability.
