'What is India's national language?': DMK MP Kanimozhi's response in Spain goes viral

NEW DELHI: DMK MP Kanimozhi , who is leading an all-party delegation, was caught in a difficult situation after she was asked what was India's national language . Given her party's history of expressing dissent with widespread protests over the three language policy, Kanimozhi's response went viral on social media.

"The national language of India is unity and diversity ," she said, adding, "That is the message this delegation brings to the world, and that is the most important thing today."


Kanimozhi, who is leading an all-party delegation, was addressing the Indian diaspora in Spain.

DMK has recently taken a leading role in opposing the Centre over the three-language formula proposed in the National Education Policy 2020 .

Kanimozhi herself has taken on the Centre accusing it of "withholding funds to Tamil Nadu" for the three-language policy and NEP and "ruining the future of children". The DMK had protested against the Bhartiya Janata Party-led central government outside Parliament and in Tamil Nadu.
