Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday called out BJP's actions, urging them to make Tamil an official language, halt Hindi imposition, and prioritize Tamil Nadu's development rather than symbolic gestures like installing Sengol.

Stalin criticized the BJP-led central government on social media platform X, questioning its commitment to Tamil culture despite its claims of supporting it.

He wrote, "If the BJP's claim that our Hon'ble PM has great love for Tamil is true, why is it never reflected in action?"

Stalin suggested that instead of symbolic gestures, the government should focus on concrete actions that support Tamil. He said, "Rather than installing Sengol in Parliament, uninstall Hindi from Union Government offices in Tamil Nadu. Instead of hollow praise, make Tamil an official language on par with Hindi and allot more funds for Tamil than a dead language like Sanskrit."

The Chief Minister also condemned the attempts to promote Sanskrit and Hindi in Tamil Nadu. He added, "Stop the desperate attempts to saffronise Thiruvalluvar and declare his timeless classic, Thirukkural, as India's National Book."
