Tejaswini Pandit said, “We have come only for Marathi. We’re here for the victory of the Marathi language that the Marathi community has fought for. We’re here for the sentiment that unites all of Maharashtra. Many more Marathi people need to come together. There are still divisions within the Marathi community.”
Bharat Jadhav said, “It’s wrong that we’re being humiliated in our own state. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a Marathi person deserves respect. We must preserve our Marathi identity. It’s not that we are against Hindi, but we opposed making Hindi compulsory.”
Chinmayi Sumeet added, “A great injustice has been done, and now it’s about coming together to decide how to move this movement forward. It’s significant that Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray, two prominent leaders, want to do something for this cause. We are here in response to the public call they made. We weren’t specifically invited, but the unity of the Marathi people on this occasion is what truly matters.”
