AIADMK, DMK speak in one voice in Rajya Sabha

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, A Navaneethakrishnan (AIADMK) said questions in the postal department’s examination for appointments of postmen and assistants in rural areas held on Sunday were only in Hindi and English, and not Tamil. “I urge the Centre to cancel the postal department examinations held yesterday. The reasons are very simple and also very compulsive,” he said. Tiruchi Siva (DMK) said the recent circular has brought a sense of agitation in the minds of the youth in Tamil Nadu. “Now it is given than it will be conducted in only Hindi and English. Already, there is a sense of feeling that our students are deprived of Central government jobs, especially railways and others,” Siva said. Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said the matter raised by members was very important and asked the Leader of the House Thawarchand Gehlot to look into the issue.
