In an recent interview, Aaditya Thackeray addressed the years-long ongoing dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka over injustice faced by Marathi-speaking individuals of Belgaum in Karnataka and criticised lack of action by the centre government, requesting prime minister to take close action against injustice.

Previously, Shiv Sena (UBT) had asked the Karnataka government to allow the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) of Belgaum to hold a public gathering and permit leaders from Maharashtra to participate. For three straight years, the Karnataka government has denied MES the opportunity to conduct its convention in Belagavi, citing concerns over law and order, despite appeals to let Maharashtra leaders attend MES event. Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders have also accused Karnataka of increasing police presence at border posts, airports, and train stations to prevent their entry.

The MES, an organization for the Marathi-speaking population from the border areas of Karnataka, hosts a public event to promote their enduring request during the winter assembly session at the Vidhan Soudha in Belagavi — the secondary capital of the neighboring state.
