Unlike TN, only against imposition of Hindi in primary schools: Raut

Mumbai: A day after Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin tweeted to back the rally by the Thackeray cousins in Mumbai and said BJP had been forced to retreat for the second time against Hindi imposition in schools, Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday welcomed his support. However, he said his party was not opposed to Hindi, only to its imposition in primary schools. "The southern states have been fighting against Hindi for a long time. They don't speak Hindi. Our stand is different. We have not stopped people from speaking in Hindi, or Hindi films and newspapers. We are only against the imposition of Hindi in primary schools," Raut told reporters. Responding to CM Devendra Fadnavis's jibe referring to Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray as rudaali (weeper) who kept complaining about how deputy CM Eknath Shinde brought down the MVA govt, Raut said, "Fadnavis was scared by the success of the rally. In fact, Fadnavis and Shinde should participate in a rudaali competition and we should organise it."
