MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Thursday criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks linking Hindi and culture of India, stating Mr. Shah clearly did not have any knowledge on the Dravidian culture.
Addressing an event to mark the 114th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai, he recalled that Anna opposed Hindi imposition and went to jail for four months in 1938. He also recalled that a resolution was passed in the State Assembly against Hindi imposition in 1968.
