• PM Modi criticized Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin for not signing letters in Tamil
• Modi urged the state government to offer medical courses in Tamil for poor children
• PM Modi inaugurated the New Pamban Bridge, India’s first vertical-lift sea bridge

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin during a speech in Rameswaram. PM Modi said that none of the letters he receives from Tamil Nadu ministers are signed in Tamil. He mentioned that if Tamil is truly valued, people should at least sign their names in Tamil.

The Prime Minister also emphasized that the government is working hard to spread Tamil language and culture around the world. His comments come during a time when there is a disagreement between the Tamil Nadu government and the central government led by the BJP. The issue is about the three-language policy in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Stalin has argued that this policy focuses too much on Hindi and threatens the importance of regional languages like Tamil.

He also added, “We want to make sure that young people in our country don’t have to go abroad to become doctors. In the last 10 years, Tamil Nadu has opened 11 new medical colleges.” Meanwhile, On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the New Pamban Bridge in Tamil Nadu.
