The protest is being organised against the state government’s plan to implement a three-language formula under NEP 2020, which includes making Hindi compulsory from Class 1.
The Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) on Friday said it will support the protest march scheduled for July 5 here against the “imposition” of Hindi in the school curriculum in Maharashtra through the National Education Policy 2020.
In a open latter shared on social media, NCP (SP) Maharashtra unit chief Jayant Patil, while announcing decision, said his party stands firmly with the people of Maharashtra on matters of regional interest.
“Whenever the interest of Maharashtra is at stake, we stand with Maharashtra. And when the interest of the nation is at stake, we stand with the nation, setting aside political lines. That is the core policy of the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar),” Patil said.
