There is a “language war” currently going on in parts of Maharashtra as people not knowing Marathi are being attacked by workers of Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Gujarati businessman Sushil Kedia was unfortunately caught in the middle of it after he said he won’t learn Marathi.
Kedia’s office was vandalised by MNS workers after the statement. Following that, Sushil Kedia has come out and said that he overreacted to the development.
