The debate over Marathi language imposition in Maharashtra has taken a new turn with ex-marine commando Praveen Kumar Teotia, who led counter-terrorist operations during the 26/11 Mumbai attack, speaking out. Teotia, hailing from Uttar Pradesh, questioned the absence of Thackeray family members during the terror attack, stating that many who saved Mumbai were from UP and Bihar. He criticized the recent attacks on non-Marathi speakers, referring to an incident where a shopkeeper in Thane was beaten for not speaking Marathi. Teotia emphasized his role in handling the situation at the Taj Hotel during 26/11, challenging the imposition of language based on one’s state of residence.

An ex-marine commando who served during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks has raised questions about language politics in Maharashtra. He criticizes the MNS and Thackerays for their silence after the 26/11 attacks, stating they never thanked the commandos who saved lives. The commando emphasizes that language-based politics is of poor quality and suggests focusing on issues like farmer suicides, poverty, education, and healthcare. He cites Article 343 of the Constitution, stating that only Hindi and English are official languages for communication with the Centre. The commando also recounts an incident where he rejected a Rs 50,000 cheque from the Maharashtra government while in hospital, saying he didn’t serve for money but for the country. #languagepolitics #maharashtra #26 #constitutionofindia #exmarinecommando #politicaldebate
