Yogi Adityanath vs MK Stalin over 3-language debate in Tamil Nadu: Political black comedy

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other Trump administration officials are being sued by a government watchdog group for using Signal to discuss military plans to strike Houthi targets in Yemen.

Political black comedy

Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin on Thursday hit back at Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath's comments on the three-language debate, accusing him of engaging in “political black comedy".

MK Stalin said Tamil Nadu’s call for a fair deal in language policy and delimitation is gaining nationwide attention, unsettling the Bharatiya Janata Party.

“Tamil Nadu’s fair and firm voice on #TwoLanguagePolicy and #FairDelimitation is echoing nationwide—and the BJP is clearly rattled. Just watch their leaders’ interviews. And now Hon’ble Yogi Adityanath wants to lecture us on hate? Spare us. This isn’t irony—it’s political black comedy at its darkest,” Stalin wrote on X (formerly Twitter)

Stalin said Tamil Nadu does not oppose any language but rejects its imposition, framing the issue as a fight for dignity and justice rather than electoral politics.

“We don’t oppose any language; we oppose imposition and chauvinism. This isn’t riot-for-votes politics. This is a battle for dignity and justice,” added Stalin in his post.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president responded after Yogi Adityanath, in an interview with ANI, accused him of attempting to create divisions based on region and language due to concerns over his vote bank.

“The country should not be divided based on language or region. We are grateful to Prime Minister Modi ji for organising the third edition of the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam in Varanasi. Tamil is one of India's oldest languages, with a history as ancient as Sanskrit. Every Indian respects and reveres Tamil, as many elements of Indian heritage are still preserved in the language. So, why should we hate Hindi?” said Yogi Adityanath. ALSO READ
