Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 15 (ANI): All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazghagam (AIADMK) national spokesperson Kovai Sathyan said that DMK has taken the NEP issue as an opportunity to play dirty politics.
Sathyan reacted to Pawan Kalyan’s statement over the ‘hypocrisy’ of Tamil Nadu leaders protesting against the imposition of Hindi in the state by the Union Government.
He stated that Kalyan has linked business with the cultural fabric of Tamil Nadu and it is totally different. He said that NEP will provide a medium for Hindi to enter Tamil Nadu and later it will dominate in the due course of time. He added that the central government and agencies have already done the same in the state.
“The DMK has taken the NEP as a political opportunity to play dirty politics… Pawan Kalyan is linking business with the cultural fabric of Tamil Nadu… We see NEP as a backdoor entry for Hindi to sneak in and dominate in due course of time, which the central government and agencies have already done in Tamil Nadu…”, Kovai Sathyan said to ANI on Saturday.
Earlier on Friday, Andhra Pradesh deputy CM Pawan Kalyan had criticised the Tamil Nadu politicians for what he called “hypocrisy” regarding the alleged imposition of Hindi in the state.
He pointed out that while these leaders oppose Hindi, they allow Tamil movies to be dubbed in the language for financial gain.
“I do not understand why some criticize Sanskrit. Why do Tamil Nadu politicians oppose Hindi while allowing their movies to be dubbed in Hindi for financial gain? They want money from Bollywood but refuse to accept Hindi–what kind of logic is that?” Kalyan asked while addressing the party’s 12th foundation day at Pithampuram in Kakinada.
Kalyan’s comments come amid Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin accusing the Union government of ‘Hindi imposition’ and refusing to implement the three-language formula laid out in the NEP as a protest. (ANI)
