particularly writers, artists, actors, and sportspersons to extend their support to the 44 march at the Azad Maidan on 7 July.
In the interim, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has announced a parallel protest march from Girgaon Chowpatty to Azad Maidan
In an unique show of unity, estranged cousins Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray have decided to intensify their opposition to the Maharashtra government’s three-language policy in schools.
The coordination committee including Marathi writers, poets, and educators – has collaboreted with both leaders to amplify the protest against the Mahayuti government, which includes the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP.
Meanwhile, Raj Thackeray,Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)Chief has announced a parallel protest march from Girgaon Chowpatty to Azad Maidan.
Foregrounding the
non-political nature of the rally, Raj Thackeray stated, that there will be no party flags – only one agenda: to oppose the government’s move to impose Hindi. It’s his appeal to everyone to join this protest walk. He chose Sunday deliberately to enable students and parents to participate.”
Earlier this week, the State Education Minister presented a detailed justification of the policy to Raj Thackeray. In parallel, the coordination committee opposing the move met Sena UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray at his Matoshree residence in Bandra to strategize the next phase of the agitation and mount pressure on the government to withdraw the controversial circular.
