Mumbai: There was a lot of ruckus in the Maharashtra Assembly today over the controversial statement of RSS leader Bhaiyaji Joshi, after which Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had to clarify the government’s stand on this. There was a ruckus in the Maharashtra Assembly session when senior RSS leader Bhaiyaji Joshi, while saying that Marathi is not compulsory at a program organized in suburban Ghatkopar area of ​​Mumbai, said that many languages ​​are spoken in Mumbai and Mumbai is multilingual, so there is no need to learn Marathi. Gujarati is spoken in Ghatkopar and many languages ​​are spoken here. The opposition has sought clarification from the government on this issue. UBT leader Bhaskar Jadhav asked the government’s stand on this issue.

On this, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that I have not heard Bhaiyaji Joshi’s statement. Marathi is the official language of the Maharashtra government. It is mandatory for every resident of Maharashtra to learn Marathi. The Maharashtra government once again wants to explain that government work will be done in Marathi and hence it is also necessary to speak in Marathi. He said that we respect all languages, but Marathi is the language of Maharashtra. Bhaiyaji Joshi had said in Ghatkopar that there are many Gujarati speakers here and most of them are also unfamiliar with Hindi, so there is no need to speak or learn Marathi here because many languages ​​are spoken in Mumbai.

Uddhav Thackeray has also criticized the government over Bhaiyaji Joshi’s controversial statement on Marathi and said that the government should clarify its stand on this, because Bhaiyaji Joshi has created a controversy by coming here, whereas Marathi is the language of Maharashtra and any kind of misbehavior with Marathi will not be tolerated.
