Stalin’s reply to Yogi Adityanath on three language policy and delimitation

On the statement made by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath about three language policy and delimitation, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin reacted sharply. Stalin said that the demand for two language policy and fair delimitation of Tamil Nadu is echoing across the country, making the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) feel uncomfortable. Describing the statements of BJP leaders as “ridiculous”, he said that Tamil Nadu is not against any language, but is against being imposed and linguistic domination.

Stalin’s retaliation on Yogi Adityanath

Stalin said in his statement,
“The whole country is now listening to the fair and firm voice of Tamil Nadu. BJP leaders are getting restless – just look at their interviews. And now Yogi Adityanath wants to give us a speech on hatred? Spread us. It is not irony, but the biggest humor of politics.”

Stalin made it clear that Tamil Nadu does not oppose Hindi or any other language, but rather stands against the policy of imposing and forcing language.

Yogi Adityanath’s statement and Stalin’s response

Yogi Adityanath had said in an interview that Stalin’s three language policy and opposition to delimitation are part of narrow politics and this promotes regional division. He also said that Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam languages ​​are taught in Uttar Pradesh, then why is Hindi opposed in Tamil Nadu?

In response to this, Stalin said:
“We are not against any language, but oppose the forcible imposition. It is not a politics, but a fight for justice and respect. BJP’s policies are working to break the country instead of connecting the country.”

Tamil Nadu’s two language policy and delimitation dispute

• Tamil Nadu National Education Policy (NEP) has been opposing three language formulas under 2020.

• The DMK government believes that this attempt to impose Hindi can become a threat to Tamil language and culture.

• The state’s two language policy (Tamil and English) has been going on for decades and has been described as the basis of Tamil Nadu’s progress.

Delimitation issue

Stalin alleged that the redistribution of seats on the basis of population would be unjust to the southern states. He said that the southern states have been successful in population control, but delimitation could weaken their parliamentary power.

A scathing attack on BJP

Stalin said that BJP talks about patriotism and unity, but their policies are working to divide the country. Describing it as “linguistic colonialism”, he said that Tamil Nadu would not accept this imposed model.

Claim of support across the country

Stalin said that his fight is getting support from Punjab, Telangana, Karnataka and other non-BJP ruled states. Recently, leaders of several regional parties participated in the meeting of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) in Chennai, which Stalin termed as “historic”.
