DMK attacks Union Govt for neglecting Tamil
Chennai: Launching a scathing attack on the Union Government for neglecting Tamil and other regional languages but promoting Hindi by celebrating ‘Hindi Week’ and ‘Hindi Month,’ the DMK accused the BJP government of cutting down on the allocation of funds for disaster management to States ruled by other parties and reducing the financial support for the NREGA scheme that guaranteed work for at least 100 days in a year for the poor. Taking on the Union Government on a plethora of issues like its failure to conduct the caste census, interfering in the rights of the minorities by amending the Wakf Board acts and not making efforts to stop rail mishaps that were claiming several lives on the regular basis, it charged the BJP government with withholding funds for the States under the Samagra Shiksha schemes, putting students and teachers in hardship. Accusing the BJP government of only taking up its communal agenda, the DMK said that the Union Government had not made any effort to honour the promises it gave to the people before the 2014 elections and was not putting away the ideas that would crush the pluralistic nature of society and think about working for the welfare of the majority of people. The Union government was seemingly not bothered about resolving the conflagration and the indifference of two governments should not cost more human rights with the prevailing lawlessness being allowed to continue unabated, the resolution said.
