Maharashtra Language Controversy Video: Language disputes in Maharashtra are constantly being heated. Now an incident has come out from Virar in Palghar district, which is raising many questions about the law and order of the state. The video of this incident is also becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this, a migrant auto rickshaw driver is brutally beaten just because he did not talk in Marathi.
Marathi assault on not speaking
Activists of Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) and Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) surrounded the auto driver near Virar railway station, who asked to talk in Hindi or Bhojpuri instead of Marathi. Angry on this matter, the activists first slapped the auto driver on the middle road and then started abusing them. Not only this, he was also forced to publicly apologize in front of the camera. It can be clearly seen in the video that the auto driver says, “I apologize to the Marathi people … I apologize to Maharashtra.”
So much hatred from Hindi, worse than Jungle Raj, Mumbai has become worse than speaking Hindi in Pakistan but what is going on in Mumbai, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sainiks who say “Marathi will not speak” in Virar were beaten up by the Shiv Sainiks of Uddhav Thackeray. pic.twitter.com/iaotsxig7a

Video viral, yet police silent
The video of this entire incident spread like fire on social media, but the protector of law is still silent. On this, the police statement that they have not received any complaint yet. In such a situation, the question is arising whether the video will not be considered proof now? Or the matter is related to “language”, so the eyes were closed?
How did the whole matter start?
The whole matter started with a video. Actually, a video went viral a few days ago, in which this driver threatens a local young man and says, “I will only talk in Hindi and Bhojpuri.” Just from here, the orgy of political anger started. In the name of protecting Marathi Manush’s “Asmita”, the person was beaten up and publicly apologized.
Leader’s statement
Virar city chief Uday Jadhav of Shiv Sena (UBT) has given a statement on this matter. He said, “One who insults Marathi language will get a reply in the style of Shiv Sena.” At the same time, a mixed response of social media users has also come out on the viral video. Some people described the incident as the defense of “Marathi Gaurav”, and many people called it “open orgy of mobocracy”.
