Amit Shah criticizes Stalin regarding the three-language policy; urges CM to provide medical and engineering education in Tamil
IN THE midst of the language debate between the DMK and the central government, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday encouraged Chief Minister MK Stalin to facilitate medical and engineering education in the Tamil language, stressing the importance of learning in one's native tongue.
While speaking at the 56th Raising Day Parade of the CISF in Thakkolam, Shah called upon the state government to take cues from other regions that have already adopted similar measures.
“I request the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to take lessons from other states that have made efforts to provide medical and engineering education in their local languages. It is my heartfelt desire that Tamil Nadu also offers such programs in Tamil,” he stated.
It is important to mention that Tamil Nadu began offering engineering degrees in Tamil in the 2010-11 academic year in civil and mechanical disciplines at select colleges. “Shah pointed out that individuals taking the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) examination now have the option to sit for it in all languages recognized by the Constitution’s Eighth Schedule, including Tamil.
“Previously, there was no opportunity for a mother tongue in the CAPF recruitment process. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured that our youth can now take CAPF exams in their own languages,” he added.
While emphasizing the choice to name the CISF Regional Training Centre in Tamil Nadu after Rajaditya Chola, he remarked, “It was on this very soil that Rajaditya Chola penned numerous stories of bravery, gave his life, and upheld the distinguished traditions of the Chola dynasty.”
