On Hindi Diwas, Amit Shah pitches for ‘one nation, one language’

The Hindu  

Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that the country should come together to promote Hindi. The Home Minister also said during the freedom struggle, the Congress conventions used to take place in different parts of the country and such initiatives empowered Hindi in those areas. PTI adds: Three-language formula should not be tinkered with: Congress Hours after Union minister Amit Shah’s Hindi language pitch, the Congress on Saturday said the three-language formula should not be tinkered with and controversies must not be stirred up on “emotive” issues settled by Constitution-makers. Home Minister Shah on Saturday pitched for a common language for the country and said as Hindi is spoken the most, it can unite the whole country. Asked about Shah’s remarks, Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma said: “Let me make it very clear, if that is true then the Home Minister of India should know that Hindi has been declared as the official language long back.” The Constitution clearly respects India’s diversity as it recognises 22 languages spoken by a large number of people, Sharma said.
