In a historic move, estranged cousins Uddhav and Raj Thackeray are set to share the stage for the first time in two decades at a joint rally on July 5. This significant event, organized by the Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS, marks a celebration of the rollback of controversial government resolutions on a three-language policy.
The event, titled 'Marathicha Awaaz', aims to highlight Marathi unity and identity. It features the Maharashtra map as its symbol and invites 'Marathi sisters and brothers' to join the celebration. Political circles are watching this reunion closely as the Mumbai civic body elections approach.
Following public opposition led by the MNS and Sena (UBT), the state government withdrew resolutions on the Hindi language imposition, prompting the rally instead of a protest march. The rapprochement between the Thackeray cousins signifies a potential new chapter in Maharashtra's political landscape.
