Ranvir Reacts to MNS Workers Hitting Mira Road Man Over Marathi
In a shocking incident that has left the nation in outrage, a video has gone viral showing Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers assaulting a restaurant owner in Mumbai’s Mira Road for not speaking in Marathi. The brutal attack has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey was one of the first to react to the incident, taking to social media to express his disgust and outrage. In a strongly worded post, the actor called the assailants “monsters” and tagged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asking “Where’s law and order?”
“This is sickening,” Ranvir wrote. “Monsters on the loose, looking for attention and political relevance. Where’s law and order?”
The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows a group of MNS workers attacking the restaurant owner, identified as a 35-year-old man, for not speaking in Marathi. The workers can be seen shouting and beating the man, with some even kicking him while he lies on the ground.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the MNS workers to be booked under appropriate sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The police have since arrested several of the attackers, but the incident has raised questions about the growing trend of violence and intolerance in the country.
The incident is just the latest in a string of similar cases in which individuals have been targeted for not speaking in a particular language or following a certain cultural practice. In recent months, there have been several reports of people being attacked or harassed for speaking in English or other languages, sparking concerns about the growing tide of linguistic nationalism in the country.
Ranvir’s reaction to the incident has been widely praised, with many calling for more celebrities to speak out against such incidents. “It’s time for celebrities to use their platform to speak out against such incidents,” wrote one social media user. “Ranvir Shorey is a true hero for standing up against such intolerance.”
Another social media user wrote, “This is exactly what happens when we allow hate speech and intolerance to go unchecked. Ranvir Shorey is right, we need to hold our leaders accountable for such incidents.”
The incident has also sparked debate about the role of political parties in fomenting hate and intolerance. The MNS, a fringe party that has gained prominence in recent years, has been accused of inciting violence and promoting hate speech against minority communities.
The incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of the police in dealing with such incidents. Despite the video going viral, it took several hours for the police to arrive at the scene and take action against the attackers. The delay has sparked concerns about the police’s ability to respond effectively to such incidents.
As the country grapples with the fallout of the incident, Ranvir’s reaction has served as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up against intolerance and hate. In a divided country, it is more important than ever for individuals to use their platform to speak out against such incidents and promote peace and harmony.
