'No abusive language, this is how it's used in Maharashtra': Sanjay Raut amid row over his remarks against rebel UBT MPs

New Delhi [India], June 17 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday defended his offensive language against the rebel MPs during a press interaction, saying that such expressions are part of "regular usage in Maharashtra" and asserting that he is aware of the appropriate language to be used in different contexts.

Responding to questions over allegations of abusive language, Raut told ANI, "No abusive language. This is how it is used in Marathi. This is how it is used in Maharashtra. This is our regular language. The language that should be used, should be used. The language that is understood should be used. And when and which language should be used, I know. I am the editor of the Saamna. I know the language."
