In the ongoing three-language policy tussle with Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hit out at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Tamil Nadu government, stating that all ministers in the southern state signed letters to him in English despite “saying they were proud of the Tamil language”. He was in TN to inaugurate the new Pamban Bridge linking Rameswaram island with the mainland. Hot Off the Press Divya Chandrababu and Neha LM Tripathi for Hindustan Times reported the PM stating that the central government is working to ensure that the Tamil language and Tamil heritage reach every corner of the world, urging the state government to begin medical courses in the language. “I am surprised when I receive letters from some leaders of Tamil Nadu; none of them are signed in the Tamil language.
