New Delhi, Sep 18 (UNI) Amid the huge controversy over his statement on culturally unifying India with Hindi languages on the Hindi Diwas on September 14, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday clarified that he had never asked for imposing Hindi over other regional languages and the issue is being blown for political motives.
'I never asked for imposing Hindi over other regional languages and had only requested for learning Hindi as the second language after one’s mother tongue,' the Home Minister said in a media House discussion at Ranchi.
I myself come from a non-Hindi state of Gujarat. If some people want to do politics, its their choice but they should listen my speech carefully, he added.
