New Delhi: As the war of words between the Centre and Tamil Nadu continues to intensify over the three-language policy, Bageshwar Dham Sarkar Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri said that the original language of this country is Hindi, but there should not be any discrimination against any language.

"The original language of this country is Hindi. Languages may be different, but there should not be any discrimination against any language. Hindi is the root of this country," Bageshwar Dham Chief told ANI.

This morning, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin loudly reiterated his rejection of the three language policy.

"1967: Anna sat down; Tamil Nadu rose! If any harm comes to the proud Tamil Nadu, let us flee like wildfire! Let us roar like wildfire! Let us celebrate the victory!" Stalin said on X.

On the other hand, the Tamil Nadu BJP launched its signature campaign in support of the three-language policy of the National Education Policy (NEP). State president K Annamalai, party leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, and other leaders participated in the campaign.

The BJP leader questioned why children are denied the opportunity to study another language which will open new job opportunities.

The Tamil Nadu government has strongly opposed implementing the New Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, raising concern over the "three-language formula" and alleging that the Centre wants to 'impose' Hindi.

Stalin criticised the three-language policy, saying that it had resulted in the Centre withholding the state's funds and that delimitation would now 'affect' the state's representation.

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Sunday sounded a strong warning against the central government's alleged attempts to impose Hindi on the state. He declared that Tamil Nadu would never accept the New Education Policy (NEP) and Hindi imposition in any form.

However, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan reiterated the importance of promoting Indian languages through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Speaking in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, Pradhan emphasised that all Indian languages have equal rights and should be taught uniformly. He clarified that the NEP's three-language policy doesn't impose Hindi as the sole language, contrary to concerns raised by some in Tamil Nadu.
