BJP slams DMK for its stance on Hindi

India TV News  

Chennai, Sep 19 The BJP has slammed DMK for its stance on Hindi, saying if the regional party was so strongly against this language, the schools owned by its functionaries should not have CBSE syllabus as Hindi is taught in that. "The schools owned by DMK functionaries should shift to state board syllabus from CBSE stream," BJP's National Secretary H Raja said. It is a clear case of undermining Tamil identity," Raja said, while contending that DMK was anti-Tamil. Responding to the charge, DMK spokesperson and Member of Parliament T.K.S.Elangovan told IANS: "Periyar - as Ramasamy is popularly known - said that to denote Tamil's antiquity." Asked why it could not be Tamil as it is already an international language and being the official language in Sri Lanka, Singapore and India and having the classical language status, Raja said: "Hindi is spoken by more people in India than Tamil."
