Will create language divide: MNS chief on Maha govt's Hindi order
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray appealed to schools in Maharashtra to foil the government's "hidden agenda to deliberately create a language divide". Maharashtra government said Hindi will "generally" be third language from Class 1-5 in Marathi and English medium schools. "If the government pressures the schools, MNS will stand by them like a rock," Thackeray said.
