CM: Won't tolerate hooliganism in the name of Marathi
Mumbai: Hooliganism under the guise of Marathi pride will not be tolerated in the state, CM Fadnavis warned on Friday. He said police had registered an FIR and taken action in the Mira Road incident where a businessman was beaten up by MNS workers for not knowing Marathi. Speaking to the media, Fadnavis said beating up someone over language was wrong. "We are Marathi and are proud of the language. Insisting that a person speak in Marathi is not wrong, but beating up a businessman because he does not know it is wrong. Our Marathi-speaking people are doing business in different states, and if they do not know the local language, should they get similar treatment? Such behaviour and hooliganism are not correct. Action will be taken against such violent behaviour," he said. CM Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday, "We are proud of Marathi, but no injustice can be done to any other Indian language. Sometimes I am amazed they embrace English but create disputes over Hindi. What kind of thinking is this, and what kind of action is this?"

"Should businessmen not do business? If a Marathi-speaking businessman goes to Assam and does business there and takes time to learn Assamese, should he be meted out similar treatment? Should the people of Assam beat him up? If you genuinely take pride in Marathi, then serve the language, start classes to teach Marathi, teach your children Marathi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Why have you set up schools where it is clearly mentioned that Marathi is the third language?" he asked. On the Thackeray cousins holding a "victory rally" over state govt's withdrawal of two GRs about Hindi being taught as a third language from Class 1, Fadnavis said they (Thackerays) seem to be happy about the decision taken by govt. "Let them hold the victory rally. The committee to make recommendations was set up by them, they put their aide on the committee, the committee recommended that Hindi and English should be made compulsory from Class 1 to 12, the recommendations were accepted by them in the cabinet, the minutes were signed by them. .. the Marathi manoos knows they are double-faced," he said. This was a reiteration of his earlier statement that Uddhav Thackery as CM had accepted the report of the Mashelkar panel recommending that Hindi be the third language from Class 1.

Congress Not To Join Uddhav-Raj Thackeray Rally Against Hindi Imposition
Mumbai: The Congress has distanced itself from the joint 'victory rally' by estranged brothers Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray on Saturday to celebrate the state government's move to withdraw its two government resolution on the introduction of Hindi along with Marathi and English for Classes 1 to 5. A large section of the Maharashtra Congress strongly opposed the party's participation in tomorrow's rally saying that although party is opposed to the imposition of Hindi it does not want to disturb the non-Marathi vote bank especially ahead of the upcoming BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation elections. The party has decided a conscious decision not to attend the Uddhav-Raj Thackeray show tomorrow. "We have always maintained that we do not support the BJP government on its mission to impose Hindi. We had made our stand clear much before any other party. We stand with Marathi but respect every other language. I received the invitation for the Saturday program on Friday. I had my travel plans fixed which I cannot change," said Maharashtra Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal. Sapkal has outrightly rejected the Narendra Jadhav committee formed by Maharashtra government to give its report on the three-language formula in primary education. "We oppose the policy itself. There is no question of supporting this committee. It should be scrapped right away," he said. The Congress insiders said that the party does not want to get dragged behind Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on the issue of dispute between Marathi and non Marathi speakers. "A large chunk of Congress leadership and workers in Mumbai come from north Indian as well as non-Marathi speaking population. Why should we disturb our voters?" questioned a Congress leader from Mumbai. The other state Congress leaders too are wary about going with Thackerays at present. "At present, it seems that the local body elections are going to be a solo show for all. We should focus on strengthening our organisation instead of following others," said a senior party MLA and leader from Vidarbha.
