Through NEP2020, Modi Govt has left it up to the student to study any regional language - MP Tejashwi

BJP leader and Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya said, the BJP is the only party that has been against one official language imposition and always supported the vitality and diversity of the country's languages.

The BJPYM President Tejasvi was speaking in Lok Sabha, "On many occasions, DMK & Congress MPs from the South have peddled this fake narrative about BJP's Hindi imposition."

"If there's one party that has been against such an imposition and always supported the vitality and diversity of the country's languages, it's the BJP."

"Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee took a stand against one official language & spoke about the contributions of all of India's languages during the Constituent Assembly Debates. That's the position of the BJP even now."

"It is rather the Congress which has been imposing Hindi on the South. In the last 60 years, the Congress got 4 opportunities to draft the National Education Policy. Every time, the NEP came with a 3-language formula under Nehru, Indira Gandhi & Rajiv Gandhi where in the non-Hindi speaking states, Hindi was made compulsory."

"But through NEP 2020, Sri Narendra Modi Ji Government has changed this aspect and left it to the choice of the student to study any regional language."
