`Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English. It is not an alternative to state languages, ”said Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Earlier in the day, Amit Shah had addressed a meeting of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee. Should be the language of the country. ”
Protesting against this, MP S. Venkatesh said, “If anyone sits on the throne … English, India, our answer is the 22 languages of the Eighth Schedule. The ploy of the Central Government is to prevent any language other than Hindi from coming to power and to remove English. The tricks will be won by the people with their mother tongue.”
Similarly, Tamil Nadu Congress leader KS Alagiri said, “The BJP will have to wage a fierce struggle against the Hindi dump. Amit Shah’s speech is against the Constitution of India. It is an act that puts a furnace on the unity of India. ”
Similarly MP. Thirumavalavan also objected to Amit Shah’s comment. In an interview to the new generation, he said, `Amit Shah’s speech on Hindi is against the pluralism of the country; We strongly condemn this. The BJP-led government is trying to impose language from different angles. ”
DMK MP Kanimozhi in this post, “Imposing a language of connection is not used to unite the country, it is used to divide. The Union Government and its Ministers must know the history and sacrifices of the anti-Hindu movement. ”
Similarly, Chidramaiah, the former Chief Minister of Karnataka and the current Leader of the Opposition in the Congress Party, tweeted, “Hindi is not the national language of India. We will never allow Hindi to be the national language. Amitsha is betraying his home state by supporting India by ignoring his mother tongue Gujarati for political gain. Amitsha, who hails from Gandhi’s state, behaves like Savarkar, who used India to divide and conquer the British rulers. Attempts to impose India on non-Hindi speaking states have never been successful. If the BJP tries to destabilize diversity by imposing India, there will be severe repercussions. ”
As a Kannadiga, I take strong offence to @HMOIndia @AmitShah‘s comment on Official language & medium of communication.
Hindi is not our National Language & we will never let it to be.#IndiaAgainstHindiImposition — Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 8, 2022
Meanwhile, AIADMK co-ordinator and opposition leader Edappadi Palanisamy, who is in alliance with the BJP in Tamil Nadu, said, “There is no information about Amit Shah’s Hindi speech. Therefore, it is not possible to comment on that now. ”
