"Resorting To Cheap Politics": BJP Hits Out At DMK Over Language Row

The BJP state chief said Amit Shah made it very clear that education in all states should be imparted in the mother tongue.

The BJP's Tamil Nadu chief, K Annamalai, on Saturday accused the ruling DMK government of "doing politics" over Hindi and Tamil languages after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remark that Hindi must be accepted and embraced by one and all without any opposition triggered a war of words between the two parties.

On state minister and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin condemning Amit Shah's statement, advocating the acceptance of Hindi as a medium of communication, Annamalai said, "Stalin knows neither Hindi nor English. So he didn't understand what Amit Shah said."

The BJP state chief said Amit Shah made it very clear that education in all states should be imparted in the mother tongue.
