Maharashtra’s junior Home Minister Yogesh Kadam said “Marathi must be spoken in Maharashtra” after a shopkeeper in Mira Road was slapped by MNS workers for not using the language. The minister warned of action against those who “disrespect Marathi” but did not strongly condemn the attackers. Babulal Khimji Chaudhary, who owns a 20-year-old sweet shop, was assaulted on Sunday night. A video of the incident went viral, causing public outrage. So far, four of the seven MNS workers have been questioned but not arrested. Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey and others have spoken in support of the victim. (PC: NDTV)
