Tamil Nadu Dy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin hits back at Pradhan over 'politics' comment; insists TN will follow 2-language policy
Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Friday hit back at Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan for attacking CM M K Stalin amid the NEP row, and asserted the state will only follow the 2-language policy. The state was seeking only its due share of funds from the Centre from the taxes paid by it, he said.

«We are asking our (share of) funds, about Rs 2150 crore. They (Centre) want us to accept NEP and the 3-language policy. Tamil Nadu has always been opposed to three language policy and it has been made clear the 3-language policy will not be accepted. So what is there to do politics, I don't understand» he said.
The state has sacrificed lives for the «language war,» he said in an apparent reference to the anti-Hindi agitation of 1965 where many pro-Tamil activists killed themselves, mostly by self-immolation, against the alleged imposition of Hindi then.
«Education is Tamils' right, please understand who is doing politics,» the DMK leader added.
Pradhan had attacked Stalin over the ongoing row on the implementation of NEP and accused him of «spinning progressive reforms into threats to sustain political narratives».
