BJP’s SG Suryah Corrects ‘Dravidian Model’ Tamil Of DMK MP MM Abdulla Who Cried Foul About Hindi Imposition By Union Minister

BJP SG Suryah Corrects Tamil Of DMK MP MM Abdulla Who Cried Foul About Hindi Imposition By Union Minister

On 25 October 2024, DMK leader and Pudukkottai Rajya Sabha MP MM Abdulla sought to reignite the “Hindi imposition” debate by replying to Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu’s Hindi letter with one in Tamil. However, his response backfired as his letter contained spelling mistakes, leading to online mockery. Netizens have since started to troll him, playfully offering him Tamil lessons.

This comes against the backdrop of DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin being trolled online on October 25 for incorrectly singing the state anthem “Tamil Thai Vazhrhu” during a government meeting. In a bid to shift the narrative and defend Udhayanidhi, the MP inadvertently invited mockery upon himself.

The letter from Singh to Abdulla addressed concerns raised about food quality and cleanliness on trains. Abdulla shared copies of both letters on social media, highlighting that, despite repeatedly informing officials in the Union Minister of State’s office that he does not understand Hindi, they continued to communicate in that language. He noted that letters from the Minister of State for Railways are always in Hindi. Abdulla explained that he had previously asked the officials to send correspondence in English, but they still responded in Hindi.

DMK MP MM Abdulla, via his official X account, stated, “The letters from the office of the Honorable Minister of State for Railways are always in Hindi.  After reaching his office officials and telling them, “Please send the letter in English as I don’t know Hindi,” the letter is being sent in Hindi repeatedly. I have now sent him a reply so that he can understand. I hope they will understand and act accordingly.”

In his letter, the DMK MP said, “To the Hon’ble Minister, Vanakkam. Nalam Vilaikiren. I received the letter you sent. Since I don’t know Hindi, I don’t know what is written in it. So, the next time you send a letter, please send it in English.

Immediately, Tamil Nadu BJP state secretary SG Suryah pointed out his glaring spelling mistake and took the opportunity to correct him with the proper spelling.

Unfortunately, the DMK MP, who attempted to defend himself by claiming there was no spelling mistake and that he intended to communicate correctly, ended up posting another explanation on social media, only to be caught out again.

DMK MP MM Abdulla stated, “Vizhaikiren—I like, Vilaikiren—Explaining, Vizhaikiren—I wish you well, Vilaikiren—Are you fine?”

TN BJP state secretary SG Suryah responded by schooling him, saying, “The correct usage is Vizhaikiren. Vizhaikiren means “I would like to. “Nalam Vizhaikiren means” I wish you well. “There is no word in Tamil as Vilaikiren. Vilaikiren means to produce, like growing rice. We can’t grow wellness.”

Netizens mocked the DMK MP for his misspelling and ridiculed him for trying to assert that he was correct, poking fun at him and his party for their pretensions of genuine Tamil aspirations.
