Demanding linguistic equality is not chauvinism': Tamil Nadu CM Stalin

Chennai: Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin, keeping up heat on the BJP on the language issue, said today demanding linguistic equality was “not chauvinism”, while asserting that the topic of mother tongue was like a “hornets’ nest” .

In his “X” post Stalin said,”Demanding #LinguisticEquality is not chauvinism. Do you want to know what Chauvinism looks like? Chauvinism is naming the three criminal laws that govern 140 crore citizens in a language that Tamils cannot even pronounce or comprehend by reading”.

Stalin said ,”Chauvinism is treating the state that contributes the most to the nation as second-class citizens and denying its fair share for refusing to swallow the poison called NEP”.

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." I am reminded of this famous quote when some entitled bigots brand us chauvinists and anti-nationals for the 'crime' of demanding Tamil’s rightful place in Tamil Nadu.

Attacking the saffron party,the chief minister alleged that the very people who glorify Godse’s ideology have the audacity to question the patriotism of DMK and its government that contributed the highest amount of funds during the Chinese Aggression, Bangladesh Liberation War, and Kargil War, while their ideological forefather is the one who assassinated 'Bapu' Gandhi.

Stalin maintained that imposition of anything breeds enmity and it threatens unity. Hence, the true chauvinists and anti-nationals are the Hindi zealots who believe their entitlement is natural but our resistance is treason,he said.
