In his post on X, Nirupam said, 鈥淒runk out of his senses. Half-naked. A leader鈥檚 son from MNS, hurling abuses at a Marathi-speaking woman. On top of that, flaunting his father鈥檚 influence. See the real face of those who claim to protect Marathi pride. Are these the same MNS people attacking Hindus under the pressure of Muslims?鈥 鈥淚t is clearly seen that the son of a MNS leader not only verbally abused the woman but also rammed into her car, vandalised it, and continuously misbehaved with her. “The accused is reportedly the son of MNS vice president Javed Sheikh and is identified as either Rahil or Sahil. The video shows him drunk… This incident raises two serious concerns: First, MNS, which claims to fight for the Marathi language, is in fact promoting hooliganism,鈥 remarked Nirupam. He demanded stern action against Sheikh. Nirupam further said, “They are doing nothing but ‘gundagardi’ in the name of language. That is the ground reality of MNS. Our government is not at all against Marathi; rather, we are promoting the language.”
