The Centre on Saturday stepped in to allay fears after Tamil Nadu-based political parties warned of a “language war’’ over Delhi’s “attempt” to impose Hindi in schools across the southern state. The TN-based parties, which strongly opposed the proposal, alleged it was “tantamount to thrusting Hindi’’ and called for it to be junked. Leaders cutting across the party lines in Tamil Nadu said the state has a history on the language issue and would not tolerate any imposition. Warning the Centre, DMK president MK Stalin said the BJP govt should not even think in their dreams about the three language policy. Reacting to it, TNCC president KS Alagiri said that people of Tamil Nadu will not allow the imposition of Hindi.
