Amid the ongoing tussle between the Centre and the Tamil Nadu government over the three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP), Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday pointed out that India’s languages have always coexisted, influencing and enriching one another without animosity.While speaking at the inaugural function of the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in New Delhi, PM Modi said, “There has never been any animosity among Indian languages. Languages have always influenced and enriched each other. Often, when efforts were made to create divisions based on languages, India’s shared linguistic heritage gave a fitting reply”.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister asked people to distance themselves from such ‘misconceptions’ and enrich all languages.
