Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Hindi Diwas 2025 and the fifth All India Rajbhasha Conference at Mahatma Mandir here on Sunday, declaring that Hindi should be seen as a "friend" of Indian languages rather than a competitor.

"Hindi is not a rival to other Indian languages but a companion language. Over the past five years, hosting this conference in different states instead of Delhi has given us a unique opportunity to strengthen communication between Hindi and regional languages," the Union Minister said in his keynote address.
