Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale has voiced concern over the harassment of non-Marathi speakers in Maharashtra, emphasizing that the Devendra Fadnavis government will not condone such behavior.
Athawale criticized leaders Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray for diverging from Balasaheb Thackeray's vision, underlining the contributions of non-Marathi individuals to Mumbai's economic growth.
