Renuka Shahane BASHES ‘Marathi-Speaking Candidates Not Allowed’ Job Advert, Actress Pens Note Against People Disrespecting Marathi
Renuka Shahane pens a long note for people disrespecting the Marathi language as she reacts to the viral Job advert that says Marathi-speaking candidates not allowed
Actress and filmmaker Renuka Shahane recently took to social media to advocate for informed voting, emphasizing the importance of supporting candidates who uphold the integrity of the Marathi language. In a poignant Marathi post, she urged voters to refrain from endorsing individuals or parties that marginalize Marathi speakers or undermine the cultural significance of the language within Maharashtra.
Shahane's impassioned plea stemmed from a disturbing incident involving a Surat-based company, ITCODE Infotech, whose job posting on LinkedIn explicitly excluded Marathi-speaking candidates from consideration for a Graphic Designer position. The discriminatory nature of the ad sparked outrage across social media platforms, prompting Shahane to condemn such discriminatory practices and call for accountability.
Expressing her solidarity with the Marathi-speaking community, Shahane emphasized the need to address such injustices through conscientious voting, signaling a collective stance against linguistic discrimination within the region. Her advocacy resonated deeply with followers, underscoring the enduring significance of linguistic and cultural inclusivity in the socio-political landscape of Maharashtra.
DISCRIMINATION ALERT 🚨
