The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday took a dig at actor Kamal Haasan's tweet on his possible entry into politics, wondering why the celebrity, 'without doing any service to the people,' has a 'sudden awakening' on entering the field.
 
Why is BJP not criticizing Rajnikanth.

Between Kamal and Rajni, my choice is Kamal.

Kamal never made anti-Tamil statements or actions. Rajni did.
 
'I Don’t Understand Your Hindi, Write To Me In Odia Or English,' BJD MP Replies To Union Minister’s Letter

When Tathagata Satpathy received a letter in Hindi from Union Minister Tomar on August 11 inviting him to a programme by the government, he sent out a reply in Odia telling him that he doesn’t understand Hindi.

BJD MP Tathagatha Satpathy’s comeback at Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar’s invitation in Hindi is latest in the protest against Centre’s push to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states.

When Satpathy received a letter in Hindi from Union Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water and Sanitation Minister Tomar on August 11 inviting him to a programme by the government, he sent out a reply in Odia telling him that he doesn’t understand Hindi.


“Why are Union Ministers forcing Hindi on non Hindi speaking Indians? Is this an attack on other languages?” said Sathpathy, putting Tomar’s letter out on Twitter.

The BJD’s chief whip in the Lok Sabha then told the media that he would send a reply to Tomar in a language he himself understands.

“Shri Narendra Singh Tomar ji,

I have received your letter dated 11/08/2017. Thank you for that. But I would like to inform you that I can't understand anything written in this letter as I don't understand Hindi language. I would also like to state that our state Odisha falls in the C category so kindly send us letter in English or Odia.

Here is what Satpathy means by a ‘Category C’ state:

'(3) Communications from a Central Government office to State or Union Territory in Region "C" or to any office (not being a Central Government office) or person in such State shall be in English,' says The Official Languages Rules.
And this is not the first time that the BJP-led NDA at the Centre has come under fire from non-Hindi speaking states for imposing the language on them.

After coming under attack from several quarters, the government told Parliament in July that it has no intention to impose Hindi over any other Indian language.

All languages are national languages, although Hindi is the official language, said Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju, who is in-charge of the Department of official Languages in the central government.

"There is no question of imposition of Hindi over any other language. Hindi is the official language. There is no one language which is national language," he had said in the Rajya Sabha.

At present, there are 22 languages under the 8th Schedule of the Constitution while 38 languages have been listed formally. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, there are demands for inclusion of 38 more languages in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution.

Rijiju’s statement had come against the backdrop of allegations from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu that the central government is trying to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states.
