Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party chief K Annamalai on Thursday claimed that over one lakh people across the state have supported the BJP’s online campaign on the three-language policy. He added that his party would continue its outreach despite police action, questioning how many people the government could “illegally arrest.”
Annamalai also condemned the detention of former Telangana and Puducherry Governor and BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan in Chennai for conducting a public signature campaign, allegedly organised without obtaining permission.
The campaign, titled ‘Samakalvi Engal Urimai’ (Equal Education is Our Right), was launched by the Tamil Nadu BJP in support of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and its three-language formula.
