Targeting the DMK for opposing the Trishag formula, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that no attempt should be made to divide the country on the basis of language and “Some people are using language to hide their scams and corruption”.
Amit Shah, who was responding to the debate in the Rajya Sabha on the functioning of his ministry, said that the Tamil Nadu government has “courage” to translate medical and engineering studies into Tamil “.
Amit Shah said, “I would like to say something so that those who divide the country in the name of language are not allowed to fulfill their agenda. Under the official language department, the Narendra Modi government has established the Indian language section which will work to increase the use of all Indian languages - Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Assamese, Bengali, all languages. After December I will work with citizens, CMs and MPs and I will work with their own language.
Without naming DMK, he accused him of using language to hide scams.
Amit Shah said that when the NDA government comes to power in Tamil Nadu, it will provide medical and engineering courses in Tamil. He said, “We have worked for languages … I would like to say to the Tamil Nadu government – we have been saying for two years that you have the courage to translate medical and engineering study materials to Tamil … You cannot do so. We will not do so. Medical and engineering courses in Tamil Nadu will be provided in Tamil. “
The Home Minister said that Hindi has no competition from any other Indian language and it is a friend of all Indian languages.
“I want to say to those who spread poison in the name of language that you like the languages of thousands of kilometers away, but not the language of India … I have repeatedly said that Hindi has no conflict with any other Indian.
The Union Home Minister said that the Inter-State Council works under the Ministry of Home Affairs and works to resolve issues between the Center and the states.
