Lucknow (UP) July 05, 2025 (ANI): Reacting to the viral video in which a group of men allegedly associated with a regional party beat up a shop owner for not speaking in Marathi, Congress leader Raj Babbar alleged that the BJP government was responsible for such acts and he hoped that a respectable outcome would be achieved.Raj Babbar said, "It's not about Hindu-Muslim. The whole issue is about prioritising Marathi over Hindi in Maharashtra. In every state, people are demanding that their regional language be given preference, and that is what the people of Maharashtra have also been doing. This situation could have been solved. In the past, such questions were not raised in Maharashtra on the language issue. The BJP government did some things on purpose, because of which such things are happening. We hope that a respectable solution comes out of the whole issue instead of taking a hardline stand. Maharashtra wants to take pride in its language."
