Raj Thackeray’s Remark Promoting Dadagiri: Athawale on Marathi Row
The Marathi row in Mumbai has taken a new turn with Union Minister Ramdas Athawale criticizing Raj Thackeray for his recent remarks. Raj Thackeray, the leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), has been accused of promoting “dadagiri” (bullying) and encouraging violence against those who do not speak Marathi.
Athawale, who is a Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, condemned Raj Thackeray’s remarks and said that they were promoting “dadagiri”. He stated that beating someone because of their language is not a good thing and that it is not the way to solve problems.
Athawale also pointed out that Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city and has a large number of non-Marathi people who own industries and contribute to the economy. He asked Raj Thackeray if he would give jobs to these people if their industries closed down.
Raj Thackeray’s remarks came during a meeting with MNS workers, where he told them not to make videos of incidents where they beat up people who do not speak Marathi. He said that this was because the videos could be used against them and create a wrong perception about their actions.
Athawale’s criticism of Raj Thackeray’s remarks has sparked a heated debate in the city. Many people have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter, with some supporting Raj Thackeray’s stance and others condemning it.
The Marathi row in Mumbai has been ongoing for several months, with tensions between Marathi-speaking people and those who do not speak Marathi escalating in recent weeks. The row has resulted in several incidents of violence and intimidation, with many people reporting that they have been threatened or attacked because of their language.
The controversy has also led to calls for greater unity and tolerance in the city. Many people have expressed the need for people of different languages and backgrounds to come together and celebrate their diversity.
In conclusion, Raj Thackeray’s remarks promoting “dadagiri” and encouraging violence against those who do not speak Marathi have been widely condemned by people across the city. The Marathi row in Mumbai has highlighted the need for greater unity and tolerance in the city, and it is hoped that people will come together to promote peace and understanding.
