Maha Vikas Aghadi made it a major issue after Suresh Joshi made perceived anti-Marathi remarks

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was forced to issue a clarification on Thursday to defuse a serious political storm which erupted after RSS leader Suresh 'Bhayyaji' Joshi made a statement in the Gujarati-dominated Western suburb of Vile Parle in Mumbai, which was perceived to be against the Marathi language.

Speaking at a public event in Mumbai's Gujarati-dominated Vile Parle suburb on Wednesday, Joshi said: "There is no single language in Mumbai. There are many languages in Mumbai. Different areas have different languages, just like the language of Ghatkopar area is Gujarati. Similarly, you will find fewer Hindi speakers in Girgaon. There you will see people who speak Marathi. There is no need for a person coming to Mumbai to learn Marathi."
