.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has vowed to keep fighting the language war and stop Hindi or Sanskrit being imposed in the state in order to safeguard Tamilian identity.

While addressing an event in Chennai on Saturday in memory of those who died during 'Mozhi Por' (Language War), Stalin stated that DMK's students' wing would lead protests to retrieve the state's right to educatio

He said that the DMK student wing will conduct an 'Education Right' protest in Delhi to save all non-Hindi speaking states' rights.

"The Union government is only thinking about either imposing Hindi or Sanskrit. Foreign Hindi is being imposed to destroy mother Tamil," Chief Minister Stalin said.

"They (BJP) are showing support to Hindi, but the truth is that they are the supporters of Sanskrit. After making Hindi sit on the throne, they will bring in Sanskrit".

"We have crossed several attempts of language and cultural imposition. Unable to impose an Aryan language on ancient Tamil society, attempts are being made to impose it through schools and universities. Can't we, who give land, create infrastructure and maintain universities capable of appointing a chancellor? Why can't the people choose the Chief Minister to be the chancellor?", Stalin questioned.
