A day after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin extended support to Uddhav and Raj Thackeray in their fight against Hindi imposition, Uddhav Sena MP Sanjay Raut clarified that the Thackeray brothers’ stance is only against Hindi imposition in primary schools.
“The Southern states have been fighting for this issue for years. Their stand against the imposition of Hindi means they will not speak Hindi and neither let anyone speak Hindi. But that is not our stand in Maharashtra. We speak Hindi… Our stand is that the strictness for Hindi in primary schools will not be tolerated. Our fight is limited to this,” ANI quoted Raut as saying.
Raut said Uddhav Sena’s stance on language policy is different from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s, as the party is only opposed to the imposition of Hindi in primary education.
“MK Stalin has congratulated us on this win of ours and said that he will learn from this. We wish him the best. But we haven’t stopped anyone from speaking in Hindi because we have Hindi movies, Hindi theatre, and Hindi music here… Our fight is only against imposition of Hindi in primary education… Yes, the two brothers have come together for politics, but what have they come together for?” ANI quoted Raut as saying.
