Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, 19 April (IANS). On Saturday, Ambadas Danve of the Leader of Opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) in the Maharashtra Legislative Council said on the speculation of the party to come up with MNS that Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray’s politics is different.
Talking to the media here, Danve said, “Both have brothers, but their politics is different. If Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray have to come together, they will have to sit and talk among themselves. This discussion should be done not on TV, but privately.”
It is noteworthy that Uddhav Thackeray is the head of Shiv Sena (UBT) and Raj Thackeray is the head of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
Danve took a tough stand on Marathi language. He said that Marathi language should be given priority in Maharashtra, as it is the identity of the state. Every state has the right to promote its language under the Constitution. Hindi or other languages cannot be made mandatory in Maharashtra. If someone wants to read or speak another language, it is their choice, but our responsibility is to give priority to Marathi.
Ambadas Danve reacted sharply to the demand for President’s rule in West Bengal. He said that if President’s rule is being demanded on the basis of riots in Bengal, then the violence in Nagpur, Assam and Uttar Pradesh should also be seen in recent times. Will President’s rule come into force in these states too? Aadhaar cannot be selected.
Regarding the Waqf law, he said that hundreds of complaints have come up in the recent past, and many cases are under consideration in courts. All the parties should sit and interact on this sensitive issue. Parliament can take decisions on a majority basis, but India is a democratic country. The courts will take appropriate decision in the Waqf case and we should respect it. The BJP only does politics of polarization.
