After the case of alleged discrimination against Marathi speakers came to light in Maharashtra, the discussion has intensified in political and social circles. In Mira-Bhayander area, a Marathi woman has been accused of being refused a house on rent only on the basis of her language and identity. It is being told that Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has intervened in this matter and given a strict warning to the concerned landlord.

According to the information, Raveena Shinde, who runs a business named Shinde Gudacha Tea and Breakfast Centre, was allegedly refused while looking for a house on rent in Bhayander area on the grounds that she was a Marathi.
