National Education Policy Draft  

Popular Tamil actor Suriya Sivakumar hit the headlines after he criticised the Centre’s Draft National Education Policy (NEP). The actor was slammed by politicos but the film fraternity extended support

Amidst rumours of a rift between the BJP and the AIADMK, the ruling party in Tamil Nadu has cleared the air and stated that the DMK was indulging in idle gossiping in a bid to spread false information. The two parties speak in one voice on primary intent like patriotism and worship of God, AIADMK mouthpiece Namathu Amma said.
 

In the original Draft National Education Policy 2019, a three-language formula recommended the inclusion of English and Hindi besides mother tongue in the non-Hindi state, while the Hindi-speaking states were to include English and Indian language from other parts of India

Tamilisai Soundararajan, state president of the BJP, says claims by opposition on National Education Policy are only an act of drama. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar have also expressed that no language will be imposed on another.
