The Hindu  

The Tamil Nadu government will not accept the three-language policy proposed in the National Education Policy in any way or under any circumstance, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said on Monday. During an interaction with reporters, Mr. Udhayanidhi said: “Not only in education but the Union government, with the step-motherly attitude, has not allocated funds to Tamil Nadu in the Union Budget”. It is condemnable.” When asked about the contention that only Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal had reservations, while the rest of the country had accepted it, Mr. Udhayanidhi said: “There is no necessity for Tamil Nadu to accept it, even if the whole country does. There is no need to compare.” When asked about the Tamil Nadu government constituting a committee over the PM Schools for Rising India scheme, Mr. Udhayanidhi said the State government constituted the committee to explore the proposal, which it eventually did not accept.
