00:00A big update coming in, in the three-language policy, the NEP that's become the central
00:10showdown between Tamil Nadu and the government at the centre. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister
00:15Chandrababu Naidu has backed the NEP, the new NEP. This is after Pawan Kalyan's comment
00:21on why unnecessary spread lies that Hindi is being imposed. It's a three-language policy.
00:27Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu says, do not hate Hindi message. Chandrababu Naidu
00:32saying, English is an international language while Hindi is seen as the national language.
00:38Chandrababu Naidu saying, Telugu is our mother tongue. English and Hindi, both are important
00:44languages beyond our mother tongue of Telugu. Chandrababu Naidu saying, learn as many languages
00:49as needed. After Pawan Kalyan, who's a deputy now, the Chief Minister of the state, backing
00:55the language policy at a time when DMK has dispatched ministers across the country, especially
01:01for the southern states, opposition states, to seek more support. Let's listen into what
01:05did the CNF say.
01:07I have seen that language is only a form of communication. Language has no knowledge.
01:15Knowledge comes from those who have studied in the mother tongue. Today, no matter where
01:21in the world you put it, it comes from those who have studied in the mother tongue. It's
01:25very easy to learn. That's what the government is saying very clearly today. Language is
01:35not for hatred. Today, our mother tongue is Telugu, Hindi is the national language, international
01:44language is English. Our people are going to other countries today. They're going to Japan,
01:51they're going to Germany, they're going to a few other countries. If it's necessary,
01:56we'll learn those languages here. It's very easy to go there. We'll learn as many languages
02:04as we want for livelihood. We won't forget the mother tongue. If we learn the national
02:09language, when I go to Delhi, I'll be fluent in Hindi and I'll be able to speak to others.
02:15So, you all need to remember it. Instead of doing politics without it, let's all think
02:22about it today. Since language is used for communication, it's good to learn as many
02:29languages as possible. You all need to remember that too.
02:51When you say that Hindi should not come, I have a feeling that you should not dub the
02:57Tamil movies in Hindi. Money should come from Hindi, money should come from Uttar Pradesh,
03:05money should come from Bihar, money should come from Chhattisgarh, but we don't want
03:12Hindi. That's not fair. All the workers should come from Bihar, but how can I show them Hindi?
03:19India Trader is Apoorva Jayachandran joining me right now from Amravati in Andhra Pradesh.
03:27Apoorva, could you tell us more about the showdown because it's very different in many
03:32ways from what Tamil Nadu, even Karnataka and Kerala are saying.
03:36Go ahead.
03:37Well, that's right.
03:38In fact, this statement coming in from Andhra Pradesh, Minister Chandra Babu Naidu definitely,
03:44you know, is an important statement that coming in not only is he advocating for learning
03:49multiple languages.
03:50Remember earlier on as well, he had said not one language.
04:00Keep tracking all the latest on that Apoorva because more and more details are coming in
04:04right now.
04:05How Andhra Pradesh has taken a certain view, of course, remember that they are currently
04:08also NDA ally and however, the statement is different from what Tamil Nadu has been focusing.
