Political controversy over Marathi language; Fadnavis slams Thackeray's decision in the Assembly

Mumbai: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis gave a strong response to the opposition, saying that Marathi language will remain mandatory in the state. During the discussion in the Assembly on the Governor's address, Fadnavis pointed to the decision to make Hindi mandatory during the Thackeray government. "You take all the decisions and blame us," he took a dig at the opposition.
The report that came before the Thackeray cabinet on January 20, 2022, recommended making English and Hindi mandatory from class 1 to 12. This report was approved by the cabinet and is signed by Uddhav Thackeray. "As the Chief Minister, he was supreme, yet now he blames us," Fadnavis said.
I take credit for the Thackeray brothers coming together...
On the issue of Raj Thackeray also going with Thackeray, Fadnavis said, "I want to take credit for the fact that the two brothers came together." He made this sarcastic remark, which created laughter in the assembly.
Saluting the memory of Veer Savarkar, Fadnavis mentioned his thoughts. He ended his speech by saying the motto "Peace in preparation and courage in execution" and quoted a poem:
Khudse jitne ki jid hai meri, mujhe khud ko hi harana hai ||
Main bhid nahin hu dunya ki, mere andar bhi e k jamaana hai ||
Comparison of Tipu Sultan and Shivaji is inappropriate
Fadnavis objected to the comparison of Tipu Sultan and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. "Tipu Sultan killed 45 thousand Hindus and 33 thousand Nairs, yet he is taught as a great man. Mughal history was given more space, but now the Modi government has given 20 pages to Maratha history," he criticized. "If real history had been taught, no one would have called Aurangzeb a hero," he added.
Promise of farmer loan waiver soon fulfilled Regarding farmer loan waiver, Fadnavis said, "A committee has been formed, the report will come. We will fulfill the promise at the appropriate time. A digital record has been created through Agristack to correct past mistakes. The real needy will get the benefit."
