Deoghar: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey criticised Rahul Gandhi's allegations on the Union Government of imposing Hindi and refusal to learn English, stating that people raising such issues want to "divide" countries.
Nishikant Dubey mentioned that every language, including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, and others, is essential for the Indian government.
He explained that the government wants to progress with all the regional languages and mentioned that Hindi and English are both "connecting" languages in it.
"We do not want to impose any language, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Santhali are also important for us. We want to progress with all the regional Indian languages and Hindi and English are also connecting languages. Whoever wants to take up these things Nishikant Dubey mentioned that every language, including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, and others, is essential for the Indian government. ", Nishikant Dubey told ANI.
On Friday, Rahul Gandhi shared an 'X' post favouring the English language, stating that it is not "shame" but "power" and helps provide employment and boosts confidence.
He alleged that the BJP and RSS do not want the poor children to learn English as they do not want the empowerment of these children.
He said that every language of India has soul, culture, knowledge, which shall be cherished but at the same time, English language should be learnt by every child.
"It is not an English dam, it is a bridge. English is not shame, it is power. English is not a chain - it is a tool to break the chains. BJP-RSS don't want poor kids of India to learn English - because they don't want you to ask questions, move ahead, and become equal. In today's world, English is as important as your mother tongue - because it will provide employment and boost your confidence. Every language of India has soul, culture, knowledge. We have to cherish them - and at the same time teach English to every child. This is the path to an India that competes with the world, that gives every child an equal opportunity", the 'X' post read.
