Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray to jointly celebrate Victory Day on July 5th. The event will be held in the name of Marathi pride. Narayan Rane accused Uddhav of humiliating Raj.
Maharashtra Politics: The recent controversy over the Hindi language in Maharashtra has created a stir in political circles. The state government initially issued an order stating that Hindi would be taught as a third language in primary schools from grades one to five. However, in light of the opposition and public sentiment regarding the Marathi language, the government had to withdraw this decision.
The government has clarified that a new committee will now be formed to study whether Hindi should be taught as a third language. The Thackeray brothers, i.e., Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, are portraying this issue as a victory for Marathi pride.
Thackeray Brothers to Celebrate Victory Day Conference
After the government's decision to withdraw the order, the Thackeray brothers are now preparing to celebrate this decision as a historic victory. On July 5th, the two brothers will be seen together on one stage after a long time. This event will be held as a Victory Day conference. This program is being organized in the name of protecting the Marathi language and culture.
Regarding this event, meetings are being held continuously between senior leaders of Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). According to sources, Worli Dome has been finalized as the venue. Initially, Shivaji Park and Girgaum Chowpatty were being considered.
Both Parties Engaged in Finalizing Strategy
Sanjay Raut, Anil Parab, and Anil Desai from Shiv Sena, and Bala Nandgaonkar and Abhijit Panse from MNS, recently held a secret meeting. In this meeting, which lasted for about 40 minutes, the complete plan of the program, crowd management, security arrangements, and the outline of the speeches were decided.
Both parties agree that this will be an event solely in support of the Marathi language and culture. No political talk or party promotion will be included in it. Its objective is only to convey the message that the people of Maharashtra are united on the issue of their mother tongue.
Unity in the Name of Marathi Pride
This event of the Thackeray brothers is being called a celebration of Marathi pride. Efforts are being made to show that, regardless of political differences, all Marathi leaders stand together on the issue of the Marathi language and culture. This is the reason why Uddhav and Raj Thackeray will be seen on the same stage after years.
There is enthusiasm among the general public and Marathi organizations regarding this event. A large number of supporters are expected to arrive at the venue. Through this event, the Thackeray brothers are not only trying to unite the Marathi people but are also trying to display political strength in a way.
Narayan Rane's Sharp Attack
Union Minister and BJP leader Narayan Rane has given a sharp reaction to this entire development. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), he accused Uddhav Thackeray of being the same leader who had once forced Raj Thackeray to leave the party. Rane said that Raj Thackeray, Eknath Shinde, Ganesh Naik, and he himself had worked to strengthen Shiv Sena. But after coming to power, Uddhav Thackeray sidelined all these leaders.
