While the DMK members and its sympathizers in media and cinema go about wearing “Hindi Theiryathu Poda” t-shirts to oppose the supposed ‘Hindi opposition’, more and more details of their blatant hypocrisy have been surfacing.
Apart from running CBSE schools that mandatorily teach Hindi atleast till class 7 or 8, the DMK MPs have been recommending children to Kendriya Vidyalayas (where Hindi is mandatory) through their MP quota.
For the year 2019-20, Kanimozhi had recommended 8 students out of the 10 that she is eligible to recommend.
Raja ,T.R. Baalu and Dayanidhi Maran had recommended 10 students each from their quota.
As these information came to light, netizens came down heavy on the DMK for its blatant hypocrisy. One user said that doing politics with Tamil has always been a good business for the family.
Last academic year, 8 students were admitted to Kendriya Vidyalaya on recommendation of Smt Kanimozhi MP. I presume she does not have any problems if people join KVs where Hindi is taught compulsorily as long as she can give a recommendation. https://t.co/sJzLDhU5c2
