MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said no one in the state should be targeted for not knowing Marathi and warned that violence in the name of language would not be tolerated. The CM's statement came days after workers of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) assaulted a shopkeeper in Mira-Bhayandar in Thane district for not speaking in Marathi. A video of the June 29 incident went viral, triggering public backlash. An FIR was registered on Tuesday and the police have identified at least three people seen in the video, all of whom are MNS workers.
