Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) are now aggressively moving forward over its demand to include the Marathi language in e-commerce giant Amazon's app. This comes after MNS workers had allegedly assaulted an advocate, representing Amazon, outside the Dindoshi sessions court recently.

In letters addressed to top officials of Amazon and other e-commerce companies in October, MNS leader Akhil Chitre had stated that it is essential to respect Marathi, which is the official language of Maharashtra. The party threatened to discontinue e-commerce companies from operating in the city if they do not include Marathi as one of the preferred language options on their respective apps.
