अधनंगा।
एक मराठी भाषिक महिला के साथ गाली-गलौज करता हुआ मनसे का नेता पुत्र।
ऊपर से अपने बाप के रसूख़ की धौंस दे रहा है।
मराठी स्वाभिमान की रक्षा करने का दावा करनेवालों का असली चेहरा देखिए।
क्या इन्हीं मुसलमानों के दबाव में मनसेवाले हिंदुओं पर हमले कर रहे हैं ? pic.twitter.com/vOkXz1Ev0w
Legal action
More has filed an FIR against Shaikh
The video was later shared by Sanjay Nirupam of the Shiv Sena party (Eknath Shinde). "A leader's son from MNS, hurling abuses at a Marathi-speaking woman. On top of that, flaunting his father's influence. See the real face of those who claim to protect Marathi pride. Are these the same MNS people attacking Hindus under the pressure of Muslims?" he questioned.
Controversy
Incident comes amid a row over language
The incident comes amid a row over MNS workers allegedly assaulting people for refusing to speak in Marathi. Tensions flared up in Pune's Vanaz area last Thursday after MNS workers allegedly stormed into a residence and created a ruckus for posting an "offensive" post about MNS leader Raj Thackeray. Another man was slapped and punched in the face, head, and neck for saying "All languages" are spoken in Maharashtra.
