The Dravida Kazhagam (DK), the parent body of the ruling DMK, today staged an anti-Hindi agitation citing Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent suggestion that Hindi should replace English as a liaison language between states and the central government. But nothing but Hindi imposition. Speaking to NDTV’s Sam Daniels, Mr. Veeramani explains why English should remain the link language. He says that the central government’s idea of imposing Hindi is a cultural imposition to implement the “RSS agenda”. There are 22 recognized languages in the Eighth Schedule. Referring to Tamil Nadu’s anti-Hindi agitation in the late sixties that catapulted the DMK to power, the Dravida Kazhagam chief says that Hindi is only an official language and not a link language as per the Constitution.
