Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has strongly criticized the National Education Policy (NEP), labeling it as a “saffron policy” aimed at promoting Hindi at the expense of regional languages, specifically Tamil. He alleged that the policy overlooks reservation quotas and penalizes states that do not implement NEP by withholding funds. Stalin further accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to expand its dominance in parliament and eroding the country’s federal system. The CM vowed to unite the entire nation against what he perceives as BJP’s fascist agenda. The NEP has been a contentious issue since its introduction, with several states expressing concerns about its implications for their respective languages and educational systems. The criticism from Tamil Nadu’s CM underscores the deepening political divide over the NEP within Indian states.
