I respect Marathi language but it doesn't mean we have to make it the official language of other states. We cannot go in other states and fight for the official language Konkani in those states. Respect the language of the state to which it belongs. Konkani is in our blood. Every one is free to read their own newspapers and but don't make it a political circus.
