Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 12 (ANI): In recent developments, tensions have escalated between the Marathi and Hindi-speaking communities in the Mira-Bhayandar region. These circumstances have prompted extensive protests and marches, fostering a climate of stress and animosity in the area, according to an official press release.
The emergence of such unrest is indeed regrettable and underscores the necessity for constructive dialogue and conflict resolution, the Maharastra Congress stated in the press release.
In an effort to reduce this tension and promote dialogue, the Congress Party has taken the initiative and is organising a language workshop titled 'We are Marathi, We are Indian', to be held in the presence of State Congress President Harshavardhan Sapkal, according to the release.
The release additionally mentioned that the workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, at the Asmita Club in Naya Nagar, Mira Road. It will be attended by Marathi and Hindi-speaking residents from the Mira-Bhayandar area, as well as Congress office-bearers and workers.
The program aimed at fostering peace and harmony among people of different languages is called 'We are Marathi, We are Indian...'
In Mira Road, a Hindi-Marathi language dispute has led to separate protest rallies by Traders and MNS workers. Meanwhile, the Congress is also holding a programme in Mira Road.
The party asserts that the principle of unity in diversity is a defining characteristic of India. Individuals from various castes, religions, and linguistic backgrounds coexist harmoniously within the nation, the press release stated.
Notably, Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra serve as exemplars of this diversity, being particularly renowned for their multicultural population, which comprises individuals from all regions of India who have relocated for employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
According to the party, recent disputes over the issue of language have been deliberately created, with the state government exacerbating these tensions. BJP leaders from outside the state, such as MP Nishikant Dubey, are making provocative statements that further inflame the situation. It is unfortunate that these conflicts are being stirred for political gain ahead of local body elections, the Maharastra Congress stated in the press release.
The party further added that ultimately, it is the common people who suffer, and this is not in the interest of society or Maharashtra. Therefore, it is essential that this conflict comes to an end.
To promote harmony and brotherhood, the Mira-Bhayandar District Congress Committee is organising this event under the leadership of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee Working President and former MLA Muzaffar Hussain. (ANI)
