MNS Workers Assault Shopowner Over Marathi Language
Imagine some people went into a shop and started hitting the owner because he didn't speak a certain language.
This happened in India because the owner, who wasn't from the area, didn't know the local language, Marathi.
The people were from a political group.
Now, the police are looking into it, and some politicians are saying it's okay to do this.
Some people think the shop owner should have been more respectful of the local language, while others condemn the violence.
MNS workers allegedly assaulted a shopowner for not speaking Marathi.
The incident occurred at a sweet shop in Mira Road on June 29.
The shopowner, who is from Rajasthan, was questioned about his identity and Marathi language use.
Police have registered an FIR against seven individuals involved.
