Thackeray Brothers On One Stage After Two Decades
The Thackeray brothers are returning to the same stage nearly 20 years after their last appearance to support Maharashtra pride and the Marathi language. Today's mega event, ‘Marathi Vijay Melava’ (Victory Rally), will take place at the NSCI Dome in Worli.
This comes after the BJP-led Maharashtra government issued controversial government resolutions mandating Hindi as a compulsory third language from Class 1 under the three-language policy. The Shiv Sena UBT and the MNS, led by Uddhav and Raj, respectively, have issued a joint public invitation for the "Marathi Vijay Diwas" event.
