TN: Vijay Criticises Centre Over Three-Language Policy & 'Blocking' Vikatan Website

The Statesman Bhubaneswar

|

February 17, 2025

Tamil superstar-turned-politician Vijay has strongly criticised the Central government over its stance on the National Education Policy (NEP), particularly the implementation of the three-language policy.

- AGENCIES

President of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), Vijay, slammed the move and expressed his disapproval of the alleged action against the Vikatan website. He described these actions as "authoritarian" and "anti-democratic", emphasising that imposing the three-language policy undermines the "autonomy" of states.

"What is the rationale behind enforcing a three-language policy if it only serves to erode the autonomy of states? This is a direct violation of India's federal structure," he stated.

He further accused the Central government of "interfering" in regional language policies, calling it an "attack" on the rights of the people and the sovereignty of states.

Vijay also strongly condemned the alleged blocking of the Vikatan website, one of Tamil Nadu's leading media outlets.
