DMK rejects Pawan Kalyan’s remarks on language row
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Saturday responded to remarks by actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan regarding the ongoing language debate. The Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister had questioned Tamil Nadu politicians’ stance on Hindi, asking why they opposed its imposition while allowing Tamil films to be dubbed into Hindi for commercial purposes.
DMK spokesperson Dr. Syed Hafeezullah countered Kalyan’s statement, describing it as a “hollow understanding” of Tamil Nadu’s stance on linguistic policies. He clarified that Tamil Nadu has never opposed individuals learning Hindi or any other language but stands against the imposition of Hindi or any language on its people.
Speaking at Jana Sena formation day, Pawan Kalyan raised concerns over what he perceived as a contradiction in Tamil Nadu’s stance.
