GG News Bureau
Chennai, 18th Oct. The Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution on Tuesday opposing the “imposition” of Hindi and urged the Centre not to implement the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language’s report.
The resolution, led by Chief Minister M K Stalin, argued that the recommendation made to the President on September 9 is anti-state languages, including Tamil, as well as the interests of those who speak those languages.
“The House expresses concern that the recommendation of the Parliamentary Committee, now presented, are against the two-language policy resolution moved and passed by Perarignar Anna in this august House, contrary to the promise made by the then Prime Minister Thiru Nehru to the non-Hindi speaking states and are against the use of English as Official language ensured by the resolutions passed in 1968 and 1976 on Official language,” the resolution said.
The resolution was passed unanimously by the assembly.
AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam stated that his party supports the state’s dual language policy of Tamil and English.
