The Shiv Sena (UBT) has submitted a request letter dated March 7 to the Mumbai collector and the municipal commissioner, urging them to instruct shopkeepers, hotel and restaurant owners to include Marathi in their bills and menu cards. This letter states that there is no opposition to any language, but Marathi must also be used, as it is the mother tongue of Maharashtra. The page-long letter wraps up that failure to do so would be considered disrespectful to the Marathi-speaking community, the language itself and the 106 martyrs who sacrificed their lives for a united Maharashtra.
The letter is signed by Sena (UBT) leader Krishna Pawle. The leader told mid-day, “The important word is request. This also applies to shopkeepers and showrooms, too, who should have their bills in Marathi, besides English. If I go into a showroom and buy a shirt, they can give me an English bill but they should have one in Marathi too.”
