In Maharashtra, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has revoked the government resolutions (GRs) issued on April 16 and June 17 regarding the contentious three-language formula. A new committee led by Narendra Jadhav has been formed to re-examine the matter, and both GRs will stay suspended until a fresh review, according to news agency IANS.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated on Sunday that efforts are ongoing to avoid the necessity of the planned morcha on July 5 against the three-language policy. His remarks, reported by PTI, come amid Opposition protests against what they allege is the imposition of Hindi from Class 1 in schools.

Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray respectively, have announced a joint march in Mumbai. The morcha is intended to challenge what they see as a move to undermine Marathi in favour of Hindi. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray told reporters, “They (the government) have not realised the need to take out a morcha. Injustice is being done to Marathi. Ajit Pawar should also state why this decision was imposed without properly studying it.”
