New Delhi. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has once again shown the old attitude towards non -marrathi speakers. He warned the people of other states living in Maharashtra and said that if the people living in the state refuse to speak Marathi, the MNS will not back down from ‘slapping’ them. Addressing the MNS party’s annual Gudi Padwa rally at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on Sunday, Thackeray said, “Every state has its own language and should be respected.” Marathi should be honored in Mumbai. Thackeray told his workers, check every bank, every establishment whether Marathi is being used there or not. All of you should stand firmly for Marathi.
Giving the example of the ongoing Hindi opposition in Tamil Nadu, Thackeray said that Tamil Nadu dared to deny Hindi even Kerala. On the dispute over Aurangzeb’s tomb, Raj Thackeray said that the grave of the people defeated by the Marathas should not be destroyed. The world should know that we had buried them. History of 400 years old should not become a matter of controversy in today’s era. The MNS chief criticized the Fadnavis government on the ‘Ladki Bahin Yojana’. He said that the government does not have money, so this scheme will be closed soon.

On the other hand, Shiv Sena leader Raju Waghmare said on the statement of MNS President Raj Thackeray that I think people close to Raj Thackeray have not given him properly information. ‘Girl Bahin Yojana’ is never going to stop. We are giving 1500 rupees (per month) to women and will continue to give. We promised to give Rs 2,100 and we are standing on that promise, it may take some time. Those who are dreaming that the plan will stop, we will never let this happen.
