Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Friday said that he has written a letter to School Education Minister Dada Bhuse, demanding that the state government issue a written order confirming the implementation of a two-language policy in schools from Class 1 onwards.
In the letter posted on his X handle, Raj Thackeray criticised the state government for creating confusion over the past two months regarding the teaching of Hindi as a third compulsory language.
He pointed out that the initial announcement -- to introduce three languages from Class 1, including Hindi -- sparked strong public opposition, which led the government to later clarify that Hindi would not be mandatory.
