Mumbai, Apr 2 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday that the state government wants Marathi to be used as much as possible but warned that if someone takes the law into their own hands, then the law will take its course.
He was responding to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray's statement that the party would not back down from "slapping" people residing in the state if they refused to speak Marathi.
Speaking to media here, Fadnavis said, "I tell you clearly, it is not wrong to demand the use of Marathi in Maharashtra. However, if someone takes the law into their own hands, then the law will take its course."
