Kanimozhi and Prakash Raj Criticize Pawan Kalyan for His Shift on Hindi Policy Following Alliance with BJP

Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister and film actor Pawan Kalyan has faced backlash after changing his stance on Hindi following his alliance with the BJP. This shift has drawn criticism from politicians, celebrities, and netizens who oppose the three-language formula proposed by the BJP-led Union Government’s New Education Policy.

DMK Parliamentary Party Leader Kanimozhi and activist and actor Prakash Raj have both expressed their disapproval of Kalyan’s position after aligning with the saffron party. A decade ago, Kanimozhi had publicly condemned the Modi Government for imposing Hindi and marginalizing other Indian languages, while Prakash Raj accused Kalyan of advocating for Hindi dominance at the expense of regional languages.

During the 12th foundation day celebration of his Jana Sena Party (JSP) in Pithapuram, Kakinada district, Kalyan subtly criticized the DMK for opposing the three-language policy. He argued that to maintain linguistic diversity, India requires more than just two languages. “We must embrace linguistic diversity—not limiting ourselves to just two to ensure national integrity and unity among our people,” he stated. In a dig at the DMK, he pointed out their contradiction in opposing Hindi while allowing Tamil films to be dubbed in Hindi for profit. “They want revenue from Bollywood but resist Hindi. What kind of logic is that?” he questioned.

Kanimozhi reminded everyone of Kalyan’s inconsistent stance by sharing earlier comments he made when he opposed the Hindi imposition, captioning her post on X with “Before BJP and After BJP” to emphasize the inconsistency of the JSP president’s views.

Prakash Raj clarified that opposing the imposition of Hindi is not about harboring animosity towards the language but rather about safeguarding one’s mother tongue and cultural identity. “Don’t impose your Hindi language on us. It is not about hating another language; it’s about preserving our mother tongue and cultural identity with dignity,” he wrote on X, urging someone to explain this to Kalyan.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
