Title: Neither Hindi nor Marathi, Uddhav & Raj just love family: BJP
The recent joint rally by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray to celebrate the rollback of the three-language policy by the Maharashtra government has sparked a heated debate in the political circles. While the two leaders hailed the decision as a victory for the Marathi people, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gaurav Vallabh took a dig at them, stating that they were together only due to political compulsion.
In a sharp attack on the two leaders, Vallabh said that they were hiding behind Hindi and Marathi, but in reality, they didn’t love either of the languages. “Stop hiding behind Hindi and Marathi. You neither love Marathi nor Hindi, you just love your family,” he stated.
Vallabh’s remarks came in the wake of the joint rally, where Thackeray and Thackeray had hailed the Maharashtra government’s decision to roll back the three-language policy. The policy, which aimed to make Hindi compulsory in all schools, was implemented by the previous BJP-led government in the state. However, it was met with widespread protests and opposition from various quarters, including the Shiv Sena and MNS.
Thackeray and Thackeray had claimed that the decision to roll back the policy was a victory for the Marathi people, who had been fighting against the imposition of Hindi on their children. However, Vallabh’s remarks suggested that their love for Marathi was limited to their family interest, and that they were only using the language to further their own political agendas.
