Families of Air India crash victims allege compensation coercion, Shobhaa De exclusive and more
This episode of the News Today covers two significant stories. The primary focus is on the controversy surrounding compensation for families of victims of the Air India AI 171 crash. Some families claim they are being coerced to disclose financial details to determine payouts, while Air India denies these allegations and assures that all compensations will adhere to protocol. The programme includes discussions with legal experts and a former Air India executive about the compensation process and potential legal issues. The second story addresses the escalating Marathi language conflict in Mumbai, triggered by a video of MNS workers assaulting a shopkeeper for not speaking Marathi. This incident has sparked reactions from various political figures in Maharashtra and criticism from those opposing the use of violence to enforce language. The MNS defends the action as a 'fight between youngsters,' while author Shobhaa De condemns the violence and warns against using language as a political tool. The debate has also led to discussions on Mumbai's changing demographics, the status of Marathi speakers, and the implications of language vigilantism on the city's multicultural fabric.

CM: Won't tolerate hooliganism in the name of Marathi
Mumbai: Hooliganism under the guise of Marathi pride will not be tolerated in the state, CM Fadnavis warned on Friday. He said police had registered an FIR and taken action in the Mira Road incident where a businessman was beaten up by MNS workers for not knowing Marathi. Speaking to the media, Fadnavis said beating up someone over language was wrong. "We are Marathi and are proud of the language. Insisting that a person speak in Marathi is not wrong, but beating up a businessman because he does not know it is wrong. Our Marathi-speaking people are doing business in different states, and if they do not know the local language, should they get similar treatment? Such behaviour and hooliganism are not correct. Action will be taken against such violent behaviour," he said. CM Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday, "We are proud of Marathi, but no injustice can be done to any other Indian language. Sometimes I am amazed they embrace English but create disputes over Hindi. What kind of thinking is this, and what kind of action is this?"

"Should businessmen not do business? If a Marathi-speaking businessman goes to Assam and does business there and takes time to learn Assamese, should he be meted out similar treatment? Should the people of Assam beat him up?

"Let them hold the victory rally. The committee to make recommendations was set up by them, they put their aide on the committee, the committee recommended that Hindi and English should be made compulsory from Class 1 to 12, the recommendations were accepted by them in the cabinet, the minutes were signed by them. .. the Marathi manoos knows they are double-faced," he said.
