Dharan Video Making by kshitij Chintan

Protesting against the organisers of the literary meet for not extending an invitation to Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Sena leader and state minister for transport Diwakar Raote on Friday questioned how he could attend the meet when the president-elect did not take pride in being a Maharashtrian. Raote on Friday inaugurated a stall within the book exhibition lounge at the 89th all India Marathi literary meet, which has exhibited selected 25 cartoon covers by late Bal Thackeray. Vinayak and Manessha Dharane of Sahitya Darbar have organised this exhibition for literature lovers.The minister added that despite being president-elect of the Marathi literary meet, Sabnis had said that English was the knowledge language and that he had accorded national language status to Hindi. Raote questioned whether Sabnis had given any status to Marathi or not. Shiv Sena MLC and spokesperson Dr Neelam Gorhe said she has handed over a resolution on united Maharashtra, including Belgaum and adjoining areas, for passage during the concluding day of the literary meet. The meet, which started with Granth Dindi and inauguration of book exhibition, would be formally inaugurated on Saturday.
