Uprising in Maharashtra should open eyes: Stalin
Chennai: Chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday said DMK and Tamil Nadu's long-standing language rights movement against Hindi imposition has now expanded beyond state borders, sparking waves of protest in Maharashtra. He warned the BJP of repercussions for its policies towards Tamil language and culture. Addressing Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray as his brother, Stalin said in a post on X that "the spirited victory rally held in Mumbai (on Saturday) under Thackeray's leadership and the resounding speeches against Hindi imposition" were encouraging. "The BJP, which illegally and arbitrarily insists that Hindi be taught as a third language in Tamil Nadu schools as a precondition to funding, was compelled to retreat for a second time in Maharashtra, fearing public backlash in a state under its governance," Stalin said. Stalin criticized those who support the idea that "learning Hindi will guarantee jobs". He urged them to reconsider their stance, taking into account the history of Indian languages affected by Hindi dominance and the alleged plan to homogenise India into a "Hindi nation". He said, "The uprising in Maharashtra should open their eyes."

"What is the third language taught in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan? Why is Hindi being forced upon the progressive non-Hindi speaking states, when Hindi-speaking states themselves lag behind," Stalin quoted Raj Thackeray. He said a Union govt that prioritises development of Hindi and Sanskrit had no answers to these questions. Stalin affirmed that DMK govt would resist "financial discrimination" against Tamil Nadu and the refusal to acknowledge the Keeladi civilisation. He cautioned the BJP to address its actions against Tamil Nadu and its culture. "The BJP must find a remedy for the betrayal that the party is committing against Tamil Nadu and its culture. If not, the people of Tamil Nadu will teach the BJP and its new allies a lesson they will not forget," he said.

Motha warns to pull support from BJP govt over ‘unfulfilled' pledges
1 2 Agartala: TIPRA Motha, the junior partner in Tripura's BJP -led govt, has threatened to withdraw its support, accusing BJP of failing to fulfil alliance promises made before the last Lok Sabha elections. TIPRA Motha MLA Ranjit Debbarma criticised the govt for not conducting village council elections despite a high court order and leaving two seats in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (ADC) vacant without holding by-elections. Debbarma highlighted the long-pending 125th constitutional amendment bill, which aims to enhance the autonomy and empowerment of the 10 ADCs in the northeast. He said BJP had promised to pass this bill during the 2018 and 2023 assembly elections but has yet to take action. "Why should we stay with the BJP govt?" Debbarma questioned. Kriti Devi Singh Debbarman, sister of TIPRA Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarman and BJP's East Tripura Lok Sabha MP, has also decided to resign in protest against the BJP's unfulfilled promises for tribal development, Debbarma said. While TIPRA Motha's withdrawal would not reduce the govt to a minority, it would weaken its position in tribal areas. The Tripura assembly comprises 60 members, with the BJP holding 33 seats, its ally IPFT one, TIPRA Motha 13, CPM 10 and Congress three seats. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Debbarma also pointed out that a tripartite agreement between TIPRA Motha, the Centre, and the state govts included a commitment to form a joint committee to address TIPRA Motha's demands for socio-economic, cultural, educational, and linguistic development. However, meetings have been inconclusive. He further criticised the state govt for not taking effective steps to identify illegal Bangladeshi nationals who entered Tripura after 1971, despite central directives. "The infiltration from across the border has emerged as the biggest threat to the inhabitants of Tripura," Debbarma said. He added, "We shall try to call on Union home minister Amit Shah for the last time around July 20 and formally TIPRA Motha will step away from the govt the next day." Relations between BJP and TIPRA Motha have soured in recent months, with two ministers absent from a recent swearing-in ceremony and forest minister Animesh Debbarma openly urging public action against Bangladeshi migrants.
