Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday alleged that the BJP-led Union government paid mere lip service to Tamil language for the sake of votes and dubbed the ruling party at the Centre as Tamil’s “enemy.”
Writing to party workers as part of his series on the theme of “all-time opposition to Hindi imposition,” Stalin recalled DMK founder leader CN Annadurai’s views on the issue. Decades ago, Anna had said that the party’s objective is not to oppose Hindi, but to get equal recognition to Indian languages including Tamil.
