Marathi Row: 'If a poor person speaks Hindi, he is beaten up, no one cares about Javed Akhtar and Aamir Khan...', Nitesh Rane on Marathi controversy

Posted on 4th Jul 2025 by rohit kumar

The case of assault on a food stall owner in Mumbai for not speaking Marathi has heated the politics across the state. In such a situation, now Nitesh Rane, a minister in the Fadnavis government, has also given his reaction on this matter. He said that a Hindu was killed because he did not speak Marathi. If you have courage, then go to Muslim areas like Nal Bazaar, Mohammad Ali Road in Mumbai, and ask people to speak in Marathi. Do they have the courage to go there and beat up those wearing caps?

 

Let us tell you that recently, a video went viral on social media, in which it was seen that some workers of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) are asking a food stall owner to speak Marathi. Also, when the food stall owner refused to speak Marathi, the workers are seen raising their hands at the stall owner in the video. In such a situation, this statement of Rane has once again intensified the debate about language and communalism. Along with this, sharp reactions of people are also being seen on social media.

 

Government will take strict action- Rane.

Rane further said that do Aamir Khan and Javed Akhtar speak Marathi? No, but no one says anything to them. If a poor Hindu speaks Hindi, he is killed. Rane warned that the government will take strict action against anyone who bullies Hindus. Now the government will open its third eye.

 

Also reacted to the Disha Salian case.

In the press conference, Nitesh Rane also stated the Disha Salian death case. He said that it is good that the matter is in court, as this will bring out the truth. Rane said that if Aditya Thackeray has nothing to do with this matter, then why is he afraid of an investigation? He raised the question that "Does anyone himself say that he has committed the murder? If Disha has to get justice, then the truth should come out.

 

Also spoke on Pune rape case.

 

Rane reacted to the recent rape case in Pune. He said that when criminals do not have a fear of the government, then such heinous crimes will keep happening. If timely action had been taken in cases like Disha Salian, then perhaps this shameful incident in Pune would not have happened. It is important to have a fear of the law.
