Union Home Minister Amit Shah condemned the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) administration in Tamil Nadu for its translation of medical and engineering courses into Tamil, charging the governing party with the absence of courage to execute such initiatives.
Commenting on the debate over language in Parliament, the Home Minister stated, “You (DMK) lack the courage to translate medical and engineering subjects into Tamil.”
He also claimed that when his party assumes power, they will guarantee the translation of these courses into Tamil. “When we establish the government, we will convert medical and engineering courses into Tamil,” he stated.
He further charged the DMK with distracting the public and claimed that the DMK’s hesitation to address this issue arose from a desire to hide corruption. “You’re doing this to conceal your corruption,” he noted.

Addressing the wider conversation about language, the Home Minister additionally stated that Hindi was not in competition with any other language. “He expressed that Hindi does not rival any national language,” reiterating that Hindi promotes linguistic unity. “Hindi serves as a companion to every Indian language,” he continued, emphasizing that Hindi assumes a supportive role instead of a dominant one.
He also disclosed that starting in December, he would begin official communication in regional languages. “Post-December, I will have communication with citizens, Chief Ministers, Ministers, and Members of Parliament in their native language. This is a powerful response to those who operate their businesses under the guise of language to conceal their corruption,” he commented.
