NEP is saffron policy, will not bow down to fascist BJP even if it means losing our lives : Stalin

Chennai, Mar 12 (UNI) Launching a blistering attack on the 'fascist' BJP regime at the Centre, which has been denying due rights to Tamil Nadu on various fronts, Chief Minister and ruling DMK President M K Stalin on Wednesday termed the NEP as a 'saffron policy, and not an education policy and declared that the DMK would not bow down to the saffron party even it meant losing our lives.
Addressing a DMK meeting titled 'Tamil Nadu will fight, Tamil Nadu will win' organised at suburban Tiruvallur to condemn the Centre on various fronts including its attempts to impose Hindi and
Sanskrit in the name of 3-language policy under NEP, refusing to release funds under SSA for failing to accept the NEP and the proposed delimitation exercise based on population which could reduce the number of Lok Sabha seats in the State, Mr Stalin said the DMK would mobilise the entire country to resist and fight against the BJP-led governmet at the Centre.
