During a massive Bharat Rashtra Samiti’s first public meeting in Telangana's Khammam, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday pointed out that the people are facing a situation where a political formation that wasn't a part of our national freedom struggle is in power in the country.

"Efforts are on to portray Hindi as the national language while sidelining all our native languages. Imposing Hindi by doing away with our mother tongues will affect the integrity of the nation," said Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, as quoted by news agency ANI. 

While stating that efforts are on to portray Hindi as the national language while sidelining all our native languages, CM Vijayan said, "Imposing Hindi by doing away with our mother tongues will affect the integrity of the nation.

"The statement of Union Law Minister to the effect that the Union Govt should have decisive say in the appointment of judges goes to prove that the BJP govt is hell-bent on destroying judicial autonomy. CJI himself has resisted the move," CM Vijayan said.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday had breakfast meeting with chief ministers of three states and leaders of various political parties who will be attending Bharat Rashtra Samithi's inaugural meeting at Khammam later in the day.
