Imposition of Hindi will be opposed: Actor Kamal Haasan

Adding on to a recent statement made in the Rajya Sabha by Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) member John Brittas against the imposition of Hindi by the Centre, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Sunday said that he was speaking for “half of India”.
Hasaan on his Twitter account, reacting to Brittas’s video, retweeted in Tamil saying, “Kerala is also reflecting the same, and it is speaking for half of India.” He further added, “Warning: Pongal (Tamil New Year) is coming. Oh! Sorry, ‘Jaagte Raho’ for your understanding.” இதையே கேரளமும் பிரதிபலிக்கின்றது என்பது பாதி இந்தியாவிற்கான சோற்றுப் பதம். பொங்கல் வருகிறது எச்சரிக்கை. ஓ! Sorry உங்களுக்குப் புரிவதற்காக “ஜாக்த்தே ரஹோ” https://t.co/HLIcAHSpnb — Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) December 25, 2022 Brittas questioned tweeting, “Your nefarious design of imposing Hindi will ruin this country. Could Sundar Pichai have been at the helm of Google if IIT had to take the exam in Hindi?” It started in October, when the parliamentary committee on official languages suggested that the IITs located in Hindi-speaking states introduce Hindi as a medium of instruction.
“Mother tongue is our birthright. Learning and using other languages is based on personal choice. This has been the right of South India for 75 years,” Kamal Haasan said in a second tweet in the thread.
