LANGUAGE ISSUE: BJP Extends Support to GJM Agitation Against Making Bengali Language Mandatory
All India General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party Shri. Kailash Vijayvargiya has spoken out against the Mamata governments proposal to make Bengali language compulsory in all the schools across Bengal. In turn he stated BJPs support to the ongoing agitation against the proposed imposition being led by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha in the hills.
Speaking to the press, Mr. Vijayvargiya said, “ours is a diverse country and all communities have their respective language, and culture… hence it is the duty of any government to consult with every community before proposing any such measure, but instead of any consultation Mamata is trying to forcefully implement mandatory teaching of Bengali language in the schools… this won’t work…”
He added, “because of Mamata’s highhanded approach Morcha has been forced to start protest in the hills… India is a democratic nation and we should respect people’s mandate and democracy… but in Bengal democracy is dead… here only dictatorship rules…”
