Chennai, August 23
Another row over Hindi has erupted in Tamil Nadu with the DMK alleging yoga and naturopathy practitioners from the state were asked to leave a virtual meet held by the Ayush department if they did not understand the language and seeking action against officials concerned.
The episode "exposed" the BJP-led government's agenda of imposing Hindi through its officials, the Dravidian party chief MK Stalin alleged while party MP Kanimozhi wrote to Ayush Minister Shripad Yesso Naik seeking an inquiry.
Stalin alleged Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha with "arrogance and a chauvinism for Hindi intimidated 37 yoga and naturopathy physicians to leave an online training session if they did not know Hindi" and condemned it. — PTI
