MK Stalin writes to DMK cadre slamming Governor Ravi on language policy

India Today  

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday hit back at Governor RN Ravi over his remarks on the state's two-language policy, accusing him of pushing a false narrative and questioning the linguistic policies in BJP-ruled states. Stalin’s comments come after Governor Ravi claimed that the rigid two-language policy had deprived Tamil Nadu’s youth of opportunities and restricted their ability to learn other South Indian languages. But whenever there has been an attempt to impose a language, Tamil Nadu has always stood up against it.” Taking a swipe at the Governor’s statement, Stalin remarked, “He is reading from a new script, claiming that due to the two-language policy, Tamil Nadu youth have lost the chance to study South Indian languages. The Governor will not have an answer, nor will those who make him speak.” Stalin also countered Ravi’s claim that knowing Hindi guarantees employment in North Indian states, pointing out that many Hindi-speaking migrants are coming to Tamil Nadu seeking work. Stalin’s response comes after Governor Ravi, during a visit to Tamil Nadu’s southern districts of Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli, expressed concerns over youth unemployment and drug abuse.
