BJP Slams Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for its Stance on Hindi 

Chennai: The BJP has slammed Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for its stance on Hindi, saying if the regional party was so strongly against this language, the schools owned by its functionaries should not have CBSE syllabus as Hindi is taught in that. “The schools owned by DMK functionaries should shift to state board syllabus from CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) stream,” BJP’s National Secretary H Raja said. “For making money, they teach Hindi in their schools and for politics, they oppose Hindi… This reality has to be exposed,” he told IANS while targeting the DMK which accused the Modi government of trying to impose the Hindi language on states.

According to Raja, being anti-Tamil is in the DNA of DMK and its parent body Dravida Kazhagam (DK). He said the Justice Party government in 1926 had issued a Government Order classifying Telugu-speaking Scheduled Caste (SC) as ‘Aadhi Telungar’ whereas Tamil-speaking SC was classified as ‘Aadhi Dravidar’. “Why these double standards? They could have classified the latter as ‘Aadhi Tamizhar’. It is a clear case of undermining Tamil identity,” Raja said while contending that DMK was anti-Tamil. “The DK founder E.V. Ramasamy had called Tamil as the language of barbarians and urged people to study English,” Raja said. (IANS)
