While the Centre accuses the Tamil Nadu government of depriving students by not offering the option of learning three languages, Maran said the state government knows what’s best for the students.We have successfully implemented the noon meal scheme, and the students spend more time in school. That’s the reason our enrollment rate is so high. We have a scheme where people who study in state schools and colleges are absorbed by the government. So we have gone so much ahead and are leading the race right now,” he said.Maran stressed that Tamil Nadu’s opposition was not against Hindi but the imposition of three languages. “We are not against Hindi. If there are students who want to learn Hindi, they are free to do so, but it should not be compulsory. We are not against Hindi-speaking people. We are not against the language,” he asserted.India has already lost so many mother tongues. “From Marwari to Bhojpuri, many languages have gone.” He also said that party leaders are coordinating with other parties to join the protest in Parliament.
