RLD MLAs staged a strong protest in front of Chaudhary Charan Singh’s statue outside the UP Assembly in support of the respect for the Hindi language. RLD also questioned \”the silence\” of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress on the recent comments made by DMK leaders that the RLD said were disrespectful of Hindi.

Dravidian parties, including the AIADMK, have slammed the BJP on this matter.
