NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) boss Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday claimed that the try made by the Mahayuti authorities to “impose Hindi” on Marathi manoos has been defeated after it withdrew the 2 orders on the implementation of the three-language coverage, in Classes 1 to 5 in state faculties.While addressing a press convention, Uddhav stated that Devendra Fadnavis authorities tried to break the unity of the Marathi manoos and create a divide between Marathis and non-Marathis.“The decision to impose Hindi under the guise of a three-language policy from Class 1 has finally been withdrawn. The government has cancelled the two GRs (Government Resolutions) related to this. This cannot be called wisdom that came late, because this imposition was withdrawn solely due to the strong resistance from the Marathi people. Why the government was so insistent on pushing Hindi and from where exactly this pressure was coming still remains a mystery,” Uddhav stated.“But the attempt to enforce the learning of Hindi by students in Maharashtra through the three-language formula has finally been defeated, and for that, congratulations to all the people of Maharashtra. The government lost to the power of Marathi manoos. The government did not realise Marathi manoos will unite in this manner. Let this passionate resolve grow stronger, and let the Marathi language become a language of knowledge and global discourse — that is the real aspiration,” he added.This comes moments after introduced the formation of a committee underneath educationist Dr Narendra Jadhav to recommend the best way ahead and implementation of the language coverage.The panel has sought three months to research the difficulty and put together a report.“The state cabinet has decided to withdraw the Government Resolutions (GR) issued in April and June regarding the implementation of the three-language policy from class one. A committee headed by Dr Narendra Jadhav will be formed to recommend implementation (of the three-language formula),” Fadnavis stated.He stated the federal government will take a recent determination primarily based on the report of Dr Jadhav, a former member of the Planning Commission and ex-Vice Chancellor.The Fadnavis authorities had issued a GR on April 16, making Hindi a obligatory third language for college students in courses 1 to 5 finding out in English and Marathi medium faculties. Amid backlash, the federal government issued an amended GR on June 17 making Hindi an non-compulsory language.Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS had introduced a joint march on July 5 to oppose the “imposition” of the Hindi language. The march was cancelled after the federal government withdrew the GRs.
