  • The war of words between the Centre and Tamil Nadu has heated up, with education minister Dharmendra Pradhan saying that there is nothing wrong with students of the state learning another language. His comments come a day after M K Stalin accused the Centre of 'blackmailing' over NEP.

The article discusses a political confrontation between Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the issue of central government funding for state development projects. Stalin criticized the central government for allegedly withholding funds as a form of political blackmail, particularly highlighting the delay in releasing funds for the Chennai Metro Rail project. In response, Pradhan defended the central government's stance by arguing that the funds were not released due to Tamil Nadu's refusal to implement Hindi in education, a point of contention given the state's strong opposition to Hindi imposition. This exchange underscores the ongoing tension between regional linguistic policies and central governance, with both leaders using the issue to rally their political bases.
