JIPMER Hindi Imposition Row | 'Why This Obsession With One Language': DMK MP Kanimozhi Slams Centre

Central Government’s JIMPER college in Puducherry had recently ordered that only Hindi language should be used in the registers and files in the future.

New Delhi: Amid the ongoing controversy over imposition of Hindi in Central government’s JIPMER college in Puducherry, DMK MP Kanimozhi has lashed out at the Union government accusing it of trying to impose the Hindi language in the southern states. She asked why is the Centre trying to impose the Hindi language if it won’t fix any social evil.

Taking to her Twitter handle, Kanimozhi wrote, "Why this obsession about one language, and what will they achieve, will it solve unemployment and gender inequality or any one social evil? Why are they deepening conflict?"

It is to be noted that the Central Government’s JIMPER college in Puducherry had recently ordered that only Hindi language should be used in the registers and files in the future.

As soon as this order was passed, it gave birth to fresh controversy in the south.

The circular issued by the college authorities reads, “The subjects and the headings of the columns in all the registers/service books/service accounts, used in the office will be written in Hindi and English. In future entries in all the registars/service books/service accounts will be made as far as possible in Hindi only.”

The circular further reads, “All the heads of the departments/officer-in-charge of the section/staff members are requested to take necessary action for strict compliance of the above rule and to fulfill the assurance given to the Committee of Parliament on Official Language and the work should be monitored by the Officer-In-Charge of the concerned Departments/Sections. If any help is required, then Hindi Cell can be contacted.”
