New Delhi [India], March 12 (ANI): Following an intense political brawl in the Parliament between the treasury and Opposition benches over the National Education Policy, delimitation and other issues, DMK MP Kanimozhi criticised the Union Government, alleging that the centre has 'made it a habit' to insult Tamil Nadu every day.
'Union Government has made it a habit to insult Tamil Nadu every day. Yesterday, it was the Education Minister. The Finance Minister has taken it upon herself to insult the Tamil Nadu govt. They make it look like they are doing some charity by giving schemes to Tamil Nadu. Every day, you can't just insult,' the DMK MP told reporters on Tuesday.
Earlier today, showcasing their opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP), and Delimitation among other things, DMK MPs, including Kanimozhi held a protest on the premises of Parliament.
The party was also opposing the three-language formula in the NEP, and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's earlier remarks.
'The Union Govt is withholding the money that has to be given to Tamil Nadu, saying that we have to sign the three-language policy and the NEP. They are ruining the future of the children of Tamil Nadu,' Kanomozhi said.
'They have no right to withhold the funds which have to come to the children of Tamil Nadu. Yesterday, he (Dharmendra Pradhan) responded in a very abusive way, saying that we are dishonest and that the people of Tamil Nadu are uncivilised. This is not the language we expect him to be speaking. This is totally undemocratic. We expect an apology,' she said.
Congress MP K Suresh slammed the central government over the National Education Policy (NEP), accusing it of pushing the policy without consulting state governments and academicians. He alleged that the government's real intention is to 'saffronise the entire education system.'
Speaking to ANI, K Suresh said, 'Education policy change is a very serious issue. Without consulting state governments and academicians, they (central govt) brought in a new education policy. They want to saffronise the entire education system.'
Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) MP N K Premachandran also voiced his party's stance on key issues impacting the people, emphasizing cooperation with the government while raising important concerns for the public.
'We will protest for the genuine interest of the people and we will raise their issues in the Parliament. But at the same time, we will cooperate with the government to run the House properly,' Premachandran stated.
One of the major issues Premachandran addressed was the delimitation issue. He stressed that states that have adhered to the Government of India's family planning programs should not be penalized in the delimitation process. (ANI)
