BB13 Contestant & Shefali Jariwala's Rakhi Brother Hindustani Bhau Urges MNS Chief Raj Thackeray Not To Attack Those Who Can't Speak Marathi (VIDEO)

Bigg Boss 13 contestant and content creator Vikas Fhatak, aka Hindustani Bhau, shared a video online on Sunday, making some strong statements against the ongoing Marathi language imposition row in Maharashtra. He urged Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray to not attack those who cannot speak Marathi, and also questioned his decision to join hands with Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena.

Fhatak took to his Instagram handle to share a video in which he said, "Jai Maharashtra to MNS chief Raj Thackeray! In this holy land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Marathi language is not just our pride, but it is an attitude we carry. But in the name of Marathi, it is wrong to attack the people of India, our fellow Hindus, who have come here."

He went on to say, "Whether it's in school or college, I believe that Marathi language must be taught. For that, apply as much strength as you want. We all are with you. But attacking the poor and helpless people in the state just because they do not speak Marathi is wrong. Those people have come here to study, to work. Similarly, people from Maharashtra too migrate to other states in pursuit of education and jobs. Now imagine if the same thing happens to our people in those states, then what will we do?"

'Uphold Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology of Hindutva': Hindustani Bhau

Fhatak went on to say that it is easy to attack and divide people, but difficult to keep everyone together and co-exist in harmony.

"Hindutva will only exist if all of us stay together. People see Balasaheb Thackeray's image in you, and so you must work to uphold Hindutva. By attacking people over a language, you're distancing yourself from the idea of Hindutva. Those people are our Hindu brothers and sisters, and earlier, they used to look up to you as their Hindu leader, but now they are scared of you," he said, addressing his video to Raj Thackeray.

'Don't break trust of your Hindu brethren': Hindustani Bhau

The YouTuber further questioned Raj Thackeray's decision to collaborate with Uddhav Thackeray after years of feud. "Politics is important, I cannot deny that. But at the cost of what? You've now joined the people who have time and again disrespected Balasaheb's ideologies and teachings, have abused Veer Savarkar. You want to work together with such people?" he asked.

"The entire Hindu community looks up to you with a lot of trust. Don't break their hearts and trust. Don't attack the people who have come to work in our state. They are all our Hindu brethren and they are helping us run our state. Take action against those who are against Hindutva, and not against our Hindu brothers and sisters," he concluded his message.

Besides Hindustani Bhau, several other celebs including Ranvir Shorey and Bhojpuri actor Nirahua have also spoken against the Marathi imposition row.
