The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on Sunday spoke against enforcement of Hindi asserting that it is not their mother tongue. The move aligns with the recent protests over the pan-India three language formula proposed in the draft National Education Policy 2019.

On Friday, a huge controversy broke out in Tamil Nadu over the three language formula with political parties warning a language war over 'attempts' to impose Hindi, even as the Centre stepped in to say that there was no intention to impose any language on anyone.
However, as the controversy snowballed, the Centre dismissed apprehensions on the issue and said there was no move to impose any language on anyone. "Only a report has been submitted on the new education policy. Government has not taken any decision on it. It has not even considered it and therefore the misunderstanding that the government has decided on the new education policy is not true," Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar told the media.
"After we will get the public feedback, then only it will come up before the government. More importantly, the Modi government has always promoted all Indian languages and therefore there is no case of or intention of imposing any language on anybody. We want to promote all Indian languages," he said.
The draft of New Education Policy prepared by the Kasturirangan Committee was released on Friday, which spoke of the continuation of three-language formula in the schools.
