MNS threatens to thrash drivers for rude behavior or forcing Hindi
MNS leader Amit Thackeray has issued a warning to taxi, cab, and auto-rickshaw drivers, stating that anyone who acts rudely toward passengers or demands they speak Hindi will face physical retaliation. This statement follows the Maharashtra government's decision to grant a one-year extension for drivers to gain a working knowledge of Marathi. Thackeray claimed that this extension is a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
