Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Criticizes Centre Over Delimitation and Hindi Language Policy

MK Stalin calls for unity in opposing parliamentary seat redistribution and the National Education Policy's three-language formula, alleging threats to Tamil Nadu's rights and cultural identity.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urged citizens to oppose the upcoming delimitation exercise, which he claims unfairly penalizes southern states for controlling population growth.
Stalin criticized the National Education Policy's three-language formula, labeling it as 'Hindi imposition' and accusing it of endangering Tamil Nadu's cultural and linguistic heritage.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw dismissed Stalin's comments as divisive, while the BJP accused Tamil Nadu's leaders of creating a false narrative for political gain ahead of elections.
Stalin highlighted the historical impact of Hindi on regional languages, alleging that it has led to the decline of over 25 native languages in northern states over the past century.
Stalin has invited 40 political parties to a meeting on March 5 to discuss the implications of delimitation, the three-language policy, and other contentious issues like NEET and central fund allocation.
