“Members of the Bhikkhu Sangh, Mumbai met me and expressed joy on the Cabinet’s decision to confer the status of Classical Language on Pali and Marathi.

“मुंबईतील भिक्खू संघाच्या सदस्यांनी माझी भेट घेतली आणि पाली तसेच मराठी भाषांना अभिजात भाषेचा दर्जा देण्याच्या मंत्रिमंडळाच्या निर्णयाबद्दल आनंद व्यक्त केला. पाली भाषेच्या बौद्ध धर्मासोबतच्या घट्ट नात्याचे त्यांनी स्मरण करून दिले आणि येत्या काळात अधिकाधिक तरुण पाली भाषेविषयी ज्ञान मिळवतील असा विश्वास त्यांनी व्यक्त केला. “
