Durai Vaiko, MP from Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) recounted a meeting with Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Mr Vaiko had accompanied Tamil Nadu Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi, who urged the Union Minister to release funds under the PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme. Union education Minister then said Tamil Nadu has to sign the National Education Policy, which lays down a three-language policy. Tamilians dominate worldwide, across sectors, be it IT or medical science. They are dominating because of English proficiency and how did we get there: because of a two-language formula, he said. He batted for English and said it was a means of communicating with the people and India needs to master it as it pushes to become the third largest economy in the world. He stressed that Tamil Nadu parties are not against Hindi. \”Hindi Pracharak Sabha has been functioning in Chennai for 60-70 years. but we don’t want imposition of Hindi,\” he says.
