New Delhi: As the DMK MPs protested in Parliament over the National Education Policy (NEP), their protests have sparked a sharp response from BJP National General Secretary, Tarun Chugh. According to Chugh, the DMK’s opposition to the NEP, particularly the three-language formula, is little more than a political diversion to confuse the public and deflect attention from the party’s declining influence in Tamil Nadu.
The DMK, which argues that the NEP’s three-language policy seeks to impose Hindi on Tamil Nadu, has been vocal in its protests.
However, Chugh asserts that the party’s actions are rooted in desperation. Speaking to IANS, Tarun Chugh said, “The DMK is simply trying to confuse the people of Tamil Nadu with its anti-people policies.”
“They are troubled by their growing unpopularity and the corruption plaguing their ranks. Instead of addressing these issues, they’re turning to politics of distraction.”
Chugh pointed out that while the Prime Minister has advocated for education in the mother tongue, including technical and higher education, Tamil Nadu’s government has failed to implement this.
“The people of Tamil Nadu are asking why their government has not developed a curriculum for medical and engineering courses in Tamil. If the NEP is pushing for education in the mother tongue, why has the Tamil curriculum not been created yet?” he told IANS.
“This is a question the DMK has no answer to. Instead, they’re trying to create confusion to avoid facing the truth.” BJP leader Tarun Chugh further targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her leadership of steering the state towards an ominous direction.
“Under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership, Bengal has become a fortress for forces that aim to fracture the unity and integrity of our nation. The state is increasingly becoming a refuge for those who support anti-national elements,” Chugh asserted. (IANS)
