Udhayanidhi Stalin Strongly Rejects Three-Language Policy Proposed by Centre

Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin, has firmly rejected the proposed three-language policy put forth by the central government, reinforcing his state's long-standing stance on language rights. The policy, which suggests that students across India should learn Hindi, English, and a regional language, has been met with resistance in Tamil Nadu, where the preference for Tamil as the sole language of instruction remains strong.
