Marathi Row: Sanjay Raut attacks Nishikant Dubey, says- who knows him? Also raised questions on CM Fadnavis' silence.

The controversy that started in Maharashtra over the Marathi language is increasing. After Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, MP Sanjay Raut has given a sharp reaction to the recent statement of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. Uddhav Thackeray termed Nishikant as a 'hyena' for his controversial remarks. At the same time, Sanjay Raut also said, Who is this Dubey? I appeal to the Hindi-speaking leaders here to condemn Dubey's statement.

Sanjay Raut asked - Who is this Dubey?

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said, first tell me who is this Dubey? I appeal to the Hindi-speaking leaders here to condemn Dubey's statement. Only when you do this, I will believe that you are from Maharashtra.

Sanjay Raut questioned the silence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his cabinet, saying, "When a BJP MP is making a statement against Marathi people, why is the Chief Minister of the state and his entire cabinet silent? What kind of a Chief Minister is this? Who has no right to take the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Balasaheb Thackeray."

The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader launched a scathing attack on Eknath Shinde and said, Eknath Shinde, who considers himself a duplicate Shiv Sena leader, should get his beard shaved. He should resign. He should go and ask Modi and Shah what is happening in Maharashtra. Hindi-speaking people have never been attacked in Maharashtra... It is the responsibility of Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and Ajit Pawar to correct Dubey.

Many hyenas are creating controversy - Uddhav.

Earlier, Uddhav Thackeray had commented on Nishikant Dubey and said, Leave Dubey alone... there are many hyenas who are trying to create controversy. Everyone is happy here, they don't need to worry. The people of Maharashtra know everything.

Thackeray said, "We are not against the Hindi language. But some people are comparing Marathi people with the terrorists of Pahalgam - they are the real anti-Marathi people. These people neither want the welfare of Marathis nor can they save Hindus. They always stand with those who do injustice to Marathi society. The real BJP, which was earlier in alliance with Shiv Sena, is finished now. Now we (opposition parties) have come together, and since then these people are angry."
