Kerala CM Calls Shah’s Remarks On Hindi ‘Inappropriate’

Posted: 09 Apr 2022 07:28 PM PDT

Kannur (Kerala): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday termed Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on the Hindi language “inappropriate” saying that people cannot accept it if he is trying to impose Hindi on them.


“The statement made by Home Minister is inappropriate. If you try to impose Hindi on us by destroying the regional language, we cannot accept it. That will destroy the unity and oneness of the country,” the chief minister said reiterating that Shah’s comments on Hindi language were inappropriate.

Amit Shah on Thursday emphasised the need to accept Hindi as an alternative to English and not to local languages.

The Home Minister’s remarks came when he was presiding over the 37th meeting of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee here on the Parliament premises.


Vijayan said that such a move will affect the culture because Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu are like heartbeats for the people in their respective states.


“We should remember that earlier during Hindi Diwas celebration, they kept forward one country one language idea. There were protests from different parts of the country. The uniqueness of our country is the existence of different languages and cultures. Unity in Diversity,” he said.


He further said, “Constitution has given importance to different languages. Sangh Parivar’s agenda is not to accept the different cultures and religions. It’s their move to weaken the regional languages. This is the move to destroy the unity and oneness of the country.”

Former US President Donald Trump said he might run for president again, although there have not been any official announcements in that regard yet.

“The truth is I ran twice, I won twice, I did much better the second time than I did the first. And now, we may have to do it again. Is there anybody here who would like to see me run again?” Trump asked his supporters at the Saturday rally in Selma, North Carolina. Trump accused the administration of US President Joe Biden of “one disgraceful surrender after another” and reiterated that Russia would not have launched its special military operation in Ukraine under his administration. Trump also pointed out that the US has the strongest nuclear capabilities.

At the end of March, Trump told Fox Business that if he were still president, he would threaten Russia with nuclear submarines.

Poll data reported by The Hill earlier this month showed that Trump was ahead of both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in hypothetical presidential campaign matchups for 2024.

The crucial session of the house began at 10:30 am (11:00 IST) with Speaker Qaiser, a senior member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s party, in chair. Since then, the session was adjourned thrice for one reason or another.
Imran Khan tried to block a no-confidence motion last week and dissolved the lower house of parliament, but Pakistan’s top court ordered on Thursday the vote would have to be held by Saturday.

The Pakistani National Assembly had a total strength of 342 members, with the majority mark being 172.

The opposition party had moved the no-trust motion against the PM on March 8.

Imran Khan received a massive blow after the PTI lost its key ally Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P). The MQM announced that it had struck a deal with the opposition Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and would support the no-trust vote.

The 22nd Pakistani Prime Minister has run out of favour with the Army known to call shots in the power game of Pakistan. Pakistan’s only World Cup winning cricket captain was pitchforked to the centre stage after former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lost favours with the top brass of the Army.
