Telangana Minister KTR Joins South Pushback To Amit Shah Hindi Pitch

News, World Comments Off 20

Unity in diversity is India’s strength and any attempt at “language chauvinism” will boomerang, Telangana minister K T Rama Rao has said, joining the chorus from the south against Home Minister Amit Shah’s pitch to propagate Hindi.

Unity in diversity is our strength dear @AmitShah Ji. India is a union of states & a true ‘Vasudhaika Kutumbam’. Why don’t we let people of our great nation decide what to eat, what to wear, who to pray to and what language to speak. Language chauvinism/hegemony will boomerang,” said Mr Rao, son of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.

Mr Rao’s remarks come against the backdrop of a pushback from the south after Mr Shah batted for steps to increase the importance of Hindi at a meeting of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee.
