Can send PM a good teacher to help him learn Tamil: Kanimozhi

New Indian Express  

THOOTHUKUDI: Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very affectionate towards Tamil, I can send a good teacher for him to learn the Tamil language, Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi said on Monday. Stating that the union government is discriminating against the non-BJP ruled states, Kanimozhi said that Tamil Nadu, one of the highest revenue generating states, receives 29 paisa for every rupee paid as taxes from the union government while Uttar Pradesh gets Rs 2 for every rupee paid as taxes. Likening Modi’s affection for Tamil as ‘crocodile tears’, Kanimozhi said the prime minister has no love for the language, which is why his government enforces Hindi in Tamil Nadu. “I can send a good Tamil teacher to the prime minister, and help him learn Tamil,” the DMK MP said.
