Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray has called upon the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) to ensure that all banks comply with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) directive mandating the use of Marathi in banking services offered within the state, reported the PTI.

Raj Thackeray warned that should this directive be ignored, the MNS would escalate its agitation, and any subsequent law and order issues would be the responsibility of the concerned banks.
