Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has supported Uddhav and Raj Thackeray. He said that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the people here have struggled against ‘imposing’ Hindi for generations, now have crossed the state borders and emerged as strong opposition in Maharashtra.
Stalin said in a post on X that the BJP keeps the condition that Hindi should be taught as the third language in Tamil Nadu. Only then the central government will give funds, now for the second time the BJP has been forced to back down due to public outrage in Maharashtra, where it has its own government.
Stalin said that in the ‘Vijay rally’ against Hindi ‘impose’ under the leadership of Bhai Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai today, the passionate speeches and Janjwar have made us very excited. I know that the Central Government, which is engaged only in the promotion of Hindi and Sanskrit, cannot give any answer to these 2 sharp questions of Raj Thackeray.
First- What is taught as a third language in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan?
Second- When Hindi-speaking states are backward, then why is Hindi being imposed on progressive non-Hindi speaking states?
CM Stalin asked questions from Center
CM Stalin asked if the central government would change the attitude of stopping funding of Rs 2,152 crore under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan for the education of Tamil Nadu children in revenge? Will she immediately release this amount, which is the legal right of Tamil Nadu?
‘The voice raised in Maharashtra is quite quite quite high’
The CM of Tamil Nadu said that this struggle of the people of the state is not only emotional, but to protect the cultural diversity of intellectual, logical and India. It is inspired by a sense of rights and respect, not hate. Those who say without understanding history say that ‘learn Hindi, you will get a job’, they now need to improve. This voice raised in Maharashtra is enough to open his eyes.
BJP will have to atone: Stalin
Stalin said that we will not tolerate more than linguistic discrimination, neglect of Tamil language and ignoring civilizations like Kailadi. The BJP will have to atone for the betrayal made with Tamil and Tamil Nadu. If he does not improve, Tamil Nadu will once again teach him a lesson that he will never forget. Come, be united. Tamil Nadu will fight, Tamil Nadu will win.
