“India needs many languages including Tamil – Pawan Kalyan
In his address, Pawan Kalyan, while emphasizing the language policy of Tamil Nadu, said:
“India needs many languages, not just two languages, but including Tamil. We should adopt linguistic diversity, because this will keep our national integrity strong. ”
His statement came at a time when Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin accused the Central Government of imposing Hindi in the National Education Policy (NEP), refusing to adopt three language systems.
Pawan Kalyan accused the leaders of Tamil Nadu of hypocrisy without naming the DMK.
- “They oppose Hindi, but are ready to earn money by dubbing their films in Hindi.”
- “If Hindi is so bad, then why is Tamil films dubbed in Hindi?”
- “How far is this protest right?” They want money from Bollywood, but are not ready to accept Hindi language! ”
Following this statement of Pawan Kalyan, the political debate on the language dispute in Tamil Nadu has intensified.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai’s response
Earlier, Tamil Nadu BJP President K.K. Annamalai supported the three-language policy, saying that the people of Tamil Nadu do not want any language forcefully, but they are voluntarily ready to learn the third language.
He said:
“The people of Tamil Nadu do not want to force Hindi or any language, but they are willing to adopt the third language voluntarily.”
Annamalai accused the DMK of adopting double standards:
- “Many DMK leaders run schools where Hindi is taught, but prevent children of government schools from learning Hindi!”
- “The people of Tamil Nadu voluntarily want to learn Hindi or other languages, only DMK wants to stop it.”
