Gaikwad mentioned Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's proficiency in 16 languages. He questioned if Sambhaji Maharaj, Tarabai, and Jijabai were foolish for knowing multiple languages, including Hindi.

Raj and Uddhav Thackeray celebrated the withdrawal of government resolutions on the three-language policy. They pledged to resist any efforts to impose Hindi and sideline Marathi.
