Pawan Kalyan Advocates for Linguistic Diversity in India, Criticizes 'Hindi Imposition'

The Janasena chief and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM calls for embracing multiple languages while accusing Tamil Nadu politicians of hypocrisy in the ongoing language policy debate.

Pawan Kalyan emphasized the importance of preserving India's linguistic diversity, advocating for the inclusion of multiple languages, including Tamil, instead of focusing on just two dominant ones.
His statements were made during the Janasena Party's 12th foundation day event in Andhra Pradesh's Kakinada district.
Kalyan criticized Tamil Nadu politicians for opposing Hindi while benefiting financially from dubbing Tamil movies into the language, calling it hypocritical.
The remarks align with growing tensions over the National Education Policy (NEP) and accusations by Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin of 'Hindi imposition' by the Union government.
Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai supported the three-language policy, accusing the DMK of double standards by teaching Hindi in private schools but not in government schools.
