Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has launched a scathing attack on the DMK over the New Education Policy (NEP) and the three-language row, accusing them of dishonesty and political mischief. Pradhan alleged that the DMK is not committed to the students of Tamil Nadu and is ruining their future by raising language barriers instead of focusing on education reforms. He further called the party undemocratic and uncivilized, claiming that their only agenda is politics, not student welfare. The DMK, which has been opposing the three-language formula, argues that it is an attempt to impose Hindi in Tamil Nadu. The debate has intensified, adding to the ongoing political battle over education policies in the state.
