Fiery Debate: Language Hypocrisy and Political Fallout

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman accused the DMK of language hypocrisy, condemning their idolization of a leader critical of Tamil. She criticized their inaction against a derogatory cartoon of Prime Minister Modi, and highlighted the ongoing tension over the National Education Policy, which has led to political turmoil.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched a scathing attack on the DMK, accusing them of hypocricy over Tamil language appreciation. She highlighted the inconsistency in their stance, regarding an 'elderly person' they admire despite his derogatory remarks on Tamil.

Addressing Parliament, Sitharaman criticized the lack of response towards a withdrawn cartoon depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi negatively. This, she suggests, contrasts starkly with DMK's swift actions against criticism of Tamil Nadu officials.

The ongoing friction over the National Education Policy came to the forefront as Sitharaman accused the DMK of political maneuvering detrimental to Tamil Nadu's educational future. The policy dispute disrupts parliamentary proceedings, illustrating deeper ideological divides.
