Modi’s one eye loves Tamil, another pokes it, slams Stalin
People won’t fall for PM’s hollow talk about not having Tamil as mother-tongue
CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s newfound love for the Tamil language and said the PM’s own eyes would not believe the tears he shed.
Posting a loaded long tweet on his ‘X’ page, Stalin, referred to the Prime Minister’s remark on the radio that he regretted not having Tamil as his mother tongue and said that the PM only used the word ‘Aakash Vani” when the beautiful Tamil world ‘Vaanoli’ (Tamil for radio) was available. “Modi’s own eyes would not believe his tears. How will the Tamils believe it?” Stalin remarked, wondering as to what kind of Tamil love it was to poke one eye and shed tears in the other.
Questioning the mystery behind PM Modi, who spoke in English in public meetings in Tamil Nadu in the past, addressing people only in Hindi now, the Chief Minister said, “Mr Prime Minister! Like the recovery of black money, protection of fishermen, creation of two crore jobs and elimination of corruption, the promise of making announcements in Tamil on board aeroplanes is another unfulfilled five-yearold promise.”
“Not just aeroplanes, even the airports in Tamil Nadu do not have security personnel speaking in either Tamil or English,” Stalin added.
The unfortunate achievement of the Modi regime is ensuring the prevalence of Hindi in everything and everywhere, the CM added, asserting that disappointment would be the reward for vengeful people who come cloaked in Tamil. Meanwhile, DMK has taken it to the X platform to take a swipe at Modi on the issue saying the Central government set up 13 chairs for Hindi, 5 for Sanskrit but none for Tamil in the international arena, despite tall talks.
