The Maharashtra government`s policy on Marathi is clear, those living in the state should know and learn the language, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule told the legislative council on Thursday, PTI reported.

His comments come amid a row over senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi`s comments that a person coming to Mumbai may not necessarily learn Marathi.
