Raj Thackeray delivered a fiery speech, hitting out at attempts to disrupt communal harmony, raising concerns over river pollution, and warning of strict action against those disrespecting the Marathi language

Raj Thackeray urged people to unite under Marathi identity instead of dividing along caste and community lines

Raj Thackeray emphasised that Marathi must be used in daily interactions and warned of a strong response to incidents where it is ignored

Referring to cases where a private telecom company representative and an employee at a South Mumbai store refused to speak Marathi, he declared, “MNS will deal in its own style with anyone disrespecting Marathi”

Raj Thackeray took a dig at those suddenly realising the bravery of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj after watching the recently released film Chhaava. “Some people have woken up after watching a movie. Their Hindutva will fade once the film leaves theatres,” he said. He suggested that all structures around Aurangzeb’s grave should be removed, with only a board left at the site stating, “The one who tried to destroy the Marathas is buried here.” He also proposed organising school trips to the site to educate the younger generation about Maratha history
