Thackeray said that he would personally invite all political parties and leaders, including Uddhav Thackeray, to participate in the protest. “This is about showing the strength of Maharashtra and the Marathi manoos to the ruling Mahayuti government, which is attempting to impose Hindi on us. We will also appeal to Marathi artists and writers to join the protest. And we will take note of who participates and who does not. That will give us clarity,” he added.Explaining the rationale behind selecting July 6, a Sunday for the protest, Thackeray said the day had been chosen to facilitate the participation of parents and students.“Sunday being a holiday, it will be easier for them to join the march. We are not opposed to any language, but in Maharashtra, only Marathi will be taught from Class I. We are clear on this. I have conveyed the same to the Education Minister,” the MNS chief said.Meanwhile, after meeting Thackeray, Education Minister Dada Bhuse held discussions with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to brief them on the outcome of the meeting.
