Two-language policy is no setback, clear NEET exemption bill, TN govt tells Guv

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai: Insisting that the dual language policy of Tamil and English being followed in Tamil Nadu is not a setback to students' eligibility or in their opportunities, the government on Thursday rejected the idea of enforcing a three-language policy in the state and sought the Governor to expeditiously forward the NEET exemption bill for Presidential assent. Reacting to Governor R N Ravi's remarks during his 73rd Republic Day address to the people of Tamil Nadu, pertaining to exposing state's school students to an opportunity to learn other Indian languages, Minister for Tamil Official Language and Culture & Industries Thangam Thennarasu said those aware of the history of agitations against language in Tamil Nadu would understand that “other Indian languages” would only mean the Centre's agenda of thrusting Hindi. “Such a remark implies advocating a three-language policy for Tamil Nadu,” the Minister said and pointed out that since the days of late Chief Minister C N Annadurai, the state has been following the two language policy of Tamil and English. “I hope the Governor would approve the Bill and stand by the state government in fulfilling the dreams of poor and rural students in pursuing medical education,” the Minister said.
