DMK student wing stages protest across Tamil Nadu against Hindi imposition

TIRUCHY: The Confederation of Student Unions staged a protest in Tiruchy and many parts of the Stae against the Centre’s imposition of Hindi and demanded the Union government withdraw the three-language policy.

Condemning the Union government for forcing Tamil Nadu to follow the New Education Policy (NEP) that makes learning three languages mandatory, the ruling DMK and its allies have been staging a series of protests across the State. As a part of the ongoing protest against the Union government and extending support to the protest, the confederation of student unions comprising of DMK Student Wing, Tamil Nadu Student Union, Student Federation of India, All India Student Federation, Student wing of Dravidar Kazhagam and various unions from colleges converged in front of the BSNL office at Teppakulam and staged a protest.

The members raised slogans against the BJP-led Union government and said that the Centre has been planning to impose compulsory Hindi by forcing them to follow NEP and its recommendation of a three-language policy.

The leaders of the federation asserted that the student unions are prepared for yet another anti-Hindi struggle, just like what happened in the past.
