Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said, Government is not imposing Hindi on anyone but promoting it like other regional languages. Rijiju is the minister incharge of the Department of Official Language. DMK leader M K Stalin has accused the Centre of trying to relegate people who don't speak Hindi, to second-class citizens and of pushing the country into becoming "Hindia". The controversy was triggered after President Pranab Mukherjee accepted the recommendation of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language (CPOL) that all dignitaries including the president and ministers, especially those who can read and speak Hindi, may be requested to give their speech or statement in Hindi only.
