Reiterating the AIADMK’s commitment to the two-language policy put forth by former Chief Minister C. N. Annadurai, AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Tuesday again accused the ruling DMK of adopting dual standards on the usage of Hindi in the State.
Responding to the Minister for Tamil Official Language Thangam Thennarasu’s rejoinder to his charge against the DMK, Mr. Panneerselvam said the Minister’s clarification only made it clear that the ruling party did not have an answer for his criticism on the language issue.
The Minister had pointed out Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had issued a statement opposing the remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah over Hindi. However, Mr. Panneerselvam said words were not sufficient but the DMK needed to demonstrate it through actions.
