BJP MP stirs row daring Raj Thackeray patak patak ke marenge’
Sadly, language has become a line of control. BJP’s Nishikant Dubey created a row when he dared Raj Thackeray to come out of Maharashtra and said, “Tumko patak patak ke maarenge”.
CM Devendra Fadnavis has distanced himself from BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s inflammatory remarks amid a growing language controversy in the state, calling them “inappropriate” and cautioning against creating confusion among communities.
He also said that BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s comments on the language issue in the state were inappropriate and risked causing confusion.
The comments by Dubey, Lok Sabha MP from Godda in Jharkhand, came in response to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray’s provocative statement urging party workers to “hit below the eardrum” those who refuse to speak Marathi in Mumbai – but not to record videos of such assaults.
In a post on social media platform X, Dubey responded- “To those beating Hindi speakers in Mumbai, if you have the courage, try beating Urdu speakers in Maharashtra. Even a dog is a tiger in its own home. Decide for yourself who is the dog and who is the tiger.”
He further escalated the rhetoric, saying, You will be thrashed badly, again and again), indirectly challenging Raj Thackeray and daring him to confront Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, and Telugu speakers beyond Maharashtra.
