BJP leader criticizes DMK for inconsistent stance on language policy in Tamil Nadu schools.

Tamil Nadu's BJP President K. Annamalai accused DMK of hypocrisy over language policy, claiming DMK opposes a third language in government schools but imposes Hindi in their private schools. Annamalai defended the National Education Policy's three-language formula as promoting multilingualism, while Chief Minister MK Stalin reaffirmed commitment to Tamil and English, opposing Hindi imposition to protect Tamil identity. BJP plans support conferences for the NEP, while Stalin vows to protect state autonomy and language rights, even at the cost of central funds.
