Stick to Marathi language: Raj Thackeray
Thane, May 10 (UNI) Asserting that language was the only proof of existence, MNS Chief Raj Thackeray today asked the people of the state to stick to the use of Marathi even as he again urged them to be ready to check ''infiltration'' from ousiders, especially North Indians, into Maharashtra.
''Language is the only proof of existence. One should be proud of being a Marathi and should not be ashamed of protecting the mother tongue,'' he said at a rally of MNS activists in the city.
Claiming
that
no
action
was
taken
against
others
who
gave
provocative
speeches,
Mr
Thackeray
alleged
that
he
was
being
victimised.
''I
will
not
be
cowed
down
by
these
actions
and
will
keep
on
talking
about
the
mother
tongue
and
its
protection
and
preservation.''
