The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution against the imposition of Hindi and urged the Centre not to implement recommendations of the report of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language.
The resolution, piloted by Chief Minister MK Stalin, contended that the recommendation submitted to the President on September 9, was against the State languages including Tamil and also against the interest of the people who speak those languages.
The resolution was passed by a voice vote.
Leader of the House and Minister Durai Murugan said: “Anti-Hindi sentiment is deeply ingrained in all Tamil people in Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, these people (the AIADMK MLAs) have tried to create ruckus even ahead of this resolution.”
