India including those in Region C,” she said in an open letter to Modi. “This move would therefore be against the letter and spirit of the Official Languages Act. As you are aware, this is a highly sensitive issue and causes disquiet to the people of Tamil Nadu who are very proud of and passionate about their linguistic heritage,” she said. Meanwhile, two constituents of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) — the PMK and
the MDMK — have opposed the move on Hindi. PMK founder S. Ramadoss urged the central government to declare all 22 languages listed in Schedule 8 of the Constitution as official languages and put an end to the issue of “Hindi imposition”. He also cited the BJP’s election manifesto which stated that steps would be taken to develop all Indian languages. Expressing shock over the Hindi directive, MDMK leader Vaiko said
it was worrisome since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was using the social media to register his views. Vaiko said the language issue was a very emotional one for the people of Tamil Nadu. He said all the Indian regional languages should be declared as official languages and English should continue till that happens. DMK president M. Karunanidhi was the first to voice his opposition on the issue.
Andhra MLAS for fight against black money IANS, HYDERABAD
T
he Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly unanimously passed a resolution on June 24 backing the central government over the measures being taken by it to eradicate black money. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu moved the resolution, which was later passed. Stating that the menace of black money is destroying the country’s economy, he urged the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government to take all possible mea-
sures to make India a corruptionfree country. Naidu told the House that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) always fought against corruption. He assured the members all necessary measures will be taken to root out the corruption.
Lauding the initiative taken by Narendra Modi government to eradicate black money, the chief minister stressed the need for economic, political and administrative reforms. He noted that at the first cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Modi constituted a Special Investigation Team on black money. He hailed the central government’s move in writing to the Swiss government seeking names of those holding bank accounts in that country. Naidu suggested that this money should be used for people’s welfare.

he Kerala government is ready to pay for the return of its nurses stranded in strife-torn Iraq if the Centre does not foot the bill, a minister told the state assembly on June 24. “The Centre should meet the expenses of their return journey and if it does not happen, then the state government is ready to bear it,” said state Minister for Diaspora K.C.

Kerala. But after some TV news channel went overboard with the reporting, these nurses were asked by the Indian embassy officials not to speak to media, a Kerala government official told IANS.
