Uddhav Sena distances itself from MK Stalin remark, says it only opposes Hindi imposition in schools
The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on Sunday distanced itself from remarks made by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on defeating 'Hindi imposition ', clarifying that the party is not against the language. 'Our stand is that the strictness for Hindi in primary schools will not be tolerated,' Uddhav Sena MP Sanjay Raut said. 'Our fight is limited to this'. Raut added that the stand of southern states against Hindi imposition is that they 'will neither speak the language nor allow anyone else to speak it' there. 'But that is not our stand in Maharashtra,' he said. 'We speak Hindi…We haven't stopped anyone from speaking in Hindi because we have Hindi movies, Hindi theatre and Hindi music.' On Saturday, Stalin said that Tamil Nadu's 'language rights struggle, waged generation after generation' against Hindi imposition had now transcended state boundaries and had stirred a protest in Maharashtra. The Tamil Nadu chief minister's statement came hours after a ' victory rally ' was held in Mumbai by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and his cousin Raj Thackeray, the leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, to celebrate the state government's decision to withdraw its policy of teaching Hindi as a third language in primary schools. According to the order, if 20 students per grade in a school wish to study any other Indian language, they can opt out of Hindi. If such a demand arises, either a teacher will be appointed or the language will be taught online. Following backlash, the government had on June 29 withdrew the resolution on three language policy. Stalin had said that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Maharashtra government had been forced to withdraw the policy because of the fear of 'people's uprising'. On Sunday, Raut responded to Stalin's remark, saying: 'Stalin congratulated us on this win and said he would learn from it. We wish him the best.' 'But our fight is only against the imposition of Hindi in primary education,' Raut added. #WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, "The Southern states have been fighting for this issue for years. Their stand against the imposition of Hindi means they will not speak Hindi and neither let anyone speak Hindi. But that is not our stand in… — ANI (@ANI) July 6, 2025 'If not in Maharashtra, where else Marathi' The Uddhav Sena MP also condemned Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Ashish Shelar's statement comparing the recent cases of assault on non-Marathi speakers in the state and the terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, which left 26 persons dead, the Hindustan Times reported. 'If people do a movement for any language, Ashish Shelar compares them to terrorists of Pahalgam,' ANI quoted Raut as saying. 'It's wrong, and it shows the BJP's mindset.' He added: 'A few people refuse to accept the culture and the Marathi language. If not in Maharashtra, where would the Marathi language be…in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal?' On Sunday, Shelar said that the tourists in Pahalgam were targeted for being Hindu and the same was happening in Maharashtra over language. 'In Pahalgam, people were killed because of their religion,' PTI quoted Shelar as saying at a press conference in Mumbai. 'Here in Maharashtra, Hindus are being assaulted only because of the language they speak. What's the difference?' Shelar's remarks came a week after seven unidentified persons, believed to be members of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, assaulted a shopkeeper in Thane district for not speaking in Marathi. On Saturday, suspected workers of the party vandalised the Mumbai office of entrepreneur Sushil Kedia, a day after he posted on social media that he had lived in the city for 30 years without learning Marathi 'properly'.

School Girl Drops Out After Father's Accident. How Yogi Adityanath Helped Her
Gorakhpur: A class 7 student in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, who sought Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's help after her parents were unable to pay the school fees, was enrolled again on Monday. The girl, Pankhuri Tripathi, met Mr Adityanath at a 'Janta Darshan' (a public grievance redressal program) in Gorakhpur on July 1 and appealed for financial support, saying that her father, Rajiv Kumar Tripathi, quit his job after he sustained a critical leg injury in an accident. "I want to study, but my family is unable to pay the school fees," she told Mr Adityanath. The Chief Minister then assured the girl that her education would not be disrupted. "Either your fees will be waived, or we will arrange the amount," he promised. Ms Tripathi, however, on Saturday, said the management at her school, Saraswati Shishu Mandir, had refused to waive her fees and misbehaved with them. "I had gone to the Chief Minister with a fee waiver request. He gave me a chocolate and assured me that it would be done. But when I went to school with my father, they misbehaved with us. We were told that the fee couldn't be waived. They said that if more parents sought a fee waiver, the school wouldn't be able to function. They said they have to pay teachers," she said. "My father broke down. No one had ever spoken to him like this. But I trust that the Chief Minister will not let my dream shatter. I will work hard and become an IAS officer," she said. The school officials then enrolled her after receiving a letter from Gorakhpur's Basic Education Officer. "On 01.07.2025, in the Janta Darshan program, Ms Pankhuri Tripathi requested admission in class 7 of your institution, mentioning the poor financial condition of her family. You are requested to consider the request and admit her to class 7 of your institution," Ramendra Kumar Singh said in a letter dated July 5. After the admission, the girl and her father thanked Mr Adityanath for the support.

Hindi row: Why Uddhav Sena has distanced itself from Stalin's hardline stance - BMC in focus?
Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin with Uddhav Thackeary (File photo) NEW DELHI: Uddhav Thackeray and his estranged cousin Raj Thackeray's rare show of unity in Mumbai over the victory against "Hindi imposition" gave fresh vigour to Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin , who hailed it as part of a "generational battle for linguistic rights" and extended support to fight Hindi dominance unitedly. However, Stalin's fiery endorsement was quickly doused by the Uddhav Sena, which chose to distance itself from the DMK's radical stand on the Hindi language. Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut drew a clear line between Maharashtra's opposition to the Centre's language policy and Tamil Nadu's more hardline stance soon after Stalin urged for unity. Raut said that while Tamil Nadu rejects Hindi entirely, Maharashtra's protest is specifically against the "imposition of Hindi" as a third language in primary schools, and not the language itself. "Our fight is not against Hindi, but against forcing it in schools," the Thackeray loyalist told reporters in Mumbai. Despite being part of the opposition INDIA bloc and rooting its politics in regional identity, why has the Uddhav Sena distanced itself from Tamil Nadu's DMK? The Uddhav Sena's cautious approach appears driven by electoral dynamics and demographic compulsions that could impact Thackeray's poll prospects -- particularly in the long-pending Mumbai civic elections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo Polls over pride? With local body elections likely later this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has begun early moves to consolidate North Indian voters, especially in Mumbai, where the battle for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to intensify. The BJP is keen to dislodge the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena (UBT) from India's richest civic body. The BJP sees an opportunity to tap into a voter base that still remembers the attacks on North Indians in Mumbai at the hands of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) years ago -- incidents that continue to shape political perceptions. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, while reiterating pride in the Marathi language, also slammed those opposing Hindi, asserting that it is 'also an Indian language.' His remarks come amid the language controversy sparked by the now-rolled-back policy on Hindi being made a compulsory third language in Maharashtra schools. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region, comprising 11 municipal corporations, has a substantial Hindi-speaking population from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. It is also home to a strong and influential Gujarati voter base, especially in Mumbai and Thane. Meanwhile, in Solapur, BJP minister Girish Mahajan stoked internal rumblings within the opposition camp, claiming that many MLAs and MPs from Uddhav's Sena (UBT) were in touch with him and lacked confidence in Thackeray's leadership. 'The results of the upcoming zilla parishad, panchayat samiti, and municipal elections will show how much public trust each leader holds,' Mahajan said. No Hindi vs Marathi, says Thackeray Jr. Sensing unease among voters in Mumbai ahead of the BMC polls, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray , who happens to be Uddhav Thackeray's son, dismissed the ongoing language row in Maharashtra, saying there is no "Hindi vs Marathi in Maharashtra". Speaking a day after the state government rolled back its contentious three-language policy, Aaditya said: "This controversy exists only on biased media or social media. There is no Hindi vs Marathi in Maharashtra. The real concern was the burden of three languages on standard 1 students. Why should the third language be Hindi?"
