Shinde's remarks came in response to criticism from Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, who demanded the resignation of School Education Minister Dada Bhuse over the "imposition" of Hindi in state schools.
Aaditya Thackeray argued that no language should be forced upon students and that doing so could overburden them.
Shiv Sena-UBT Leader Aaditya Thackeray's Statement
"We demand that no language should be forced. What we have been learning so far should continue. Education should be enhanced, but no language should be forced. Why is it just Hindi? How much do you want to burden the children? Focus on what they are already studying; restructure it a little, make it better," he said.
