Nueva Delhi: as the Minister of Education of the Union, Dharmendra Pradhan, asked Tamil Nadu’s principal minister, MK Stalin, to “rise above the politics” in the middle “Hindi’s imposition“Through National Education Policy Row, the prime minister responded on Friday to the minister accusing him of doing policy in education.
In a strong refutation to Pradhan’s letter, Stalin accused the center of politicizing education while denoting crucial funds to the State.
“Who really is doing politics in education, you or us?” Stalin questioned. “Isn’t it a political blackmail to condition the release of funds to accept trilingual policy? Isn’t it imposing Hindi on behalf of NEP’s policy? Turning a multilingual and diverse country into a nation in a single language, if that is not political, what is it? The conversion of funds for a scheme in leverage to implement another is pure policy, “he said.
Stalin also claimed that, although the DMK government focuses on well -being initiatives, the central government led by BJP spends its resources to advance communal tensions and push the Hindi through the states. Their comments were produced during the launch of 602 projects completed by value of RS 704.89 million rupees, the foundation established for 178 new projects valued at RS 384.41 million rupees and the distribution of well -being aid with value of RS 387 million rupees to almost 45,000 beneficiaries.
Reacting to Pradhan’s statement that Tamil Nadu is losing 5,000 million rupees for not adopting the PM Shri school initiative, Stalin replied: “It would not take a second to say that we will not send him the taxes of Tamil Nadu’s taxes.” He stressed that cooperative federalism is about ‘giving and receiving’ mutual, calling it a constitutional principle that the center seems to have forgotten.
Stalin accused the BJP of using the NEP not to raise education, but to promote the Hindi. “The center knows that Hindi cannot impose without facing a fierce opposition, so he uses education as a back door,” he said. “We know how to nurture our mother tongue. Ask those who have lost their own after hugging the Hindi. We don’t need his help to protect Tamil, ”he said.
When emitting a severe warning to the center, Stalin said: “Do not throw stones at a hive. You do not provoke the struggle spirit of the Tamiles. While I and the DMK exist, no force will be allowed that works against Tamil Nadu, their language or its people. “
When reaffirming the Dravidian government model, Stalin highlighted his commitment to the well -being of people and the elimination of systemic obstacles. “The challenges are not new to us. We know how to overcome them. With the support of the people, we will continue on the path of progress and victory, ”he concluded.
Earlier in the day, Pradhan wrote to Tamil Nadu CM on Friday, clarifying that the NEP 2020 It does not demand any language. He went to Tamil Nadu Cm to interpret NEP 2020 with a “myopic vision” and to portray progressive educational reforms such as political threats.
Pradhan also declared that Prime Minister’s letter to Prime Minister contradicted the spirit of cooperative federalism. Pradhan urged the government of Tamil Nadu to “rise above political differences for the interest of young students.”
He also added: “By not implementing Nep 2020, we are depriving our students, teachers and parents of global opportunities and Pan-India. Rejecting a student-centered policy focused on the student is really regressive. Education should not be politicized. Facts will not solve anything.
