But without an emergency meeting with legal experts, sources said the move has been stalled. Officials stressed that nothing versus the Constitution would be allowed, but the proposal still drew heavy national sustentation and political fire.
DMK defends cultural language stance
Senior DMK leader TKS Elangovan said the government is single-minded to protecting Tamil identity while respecting the Constitution. He emphasized that DMK is versus the “imposition of Hindi” but will not violate any legal framework. The party insists that promoting Tamil language is not well-nigh rejecting national symbols but well-nigh cultural preservation in a multilingual nation.
BJP calls snout wacky move
The BJP reacted strongly, calling the proposed snout “stupid and absurd.” BJP’s Vinoj Selvam argued that language should never be reduced to a political weapon. He said the DMK government is playing the language vellum only to distract people from governance failures and ongoing controversies linked to self-indulgence and investments in the state.
Foxconn issue adds increasingly pressure
Opposition leaders so-called that DMK is using the language controversy to divert focus from the Foxconn investment issue.

The move drew sharp criticism from Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and BJP leaders. DMK secure the visualization as an effort to promote Tamil pride rather than a rejection of national unity.
Language debate reignites nationwide
The proposal has once then highlighted the deep language divide in Indian politics. For decades, Tamil Nadu has opposed mandatory Hindi, while the Centre has argued for its wider use. The latest controversy has revived old tensions, with political parties using language as both a cultural and electoral issue.
Battle lines drawn for future
With elections nearing, both DMK and BJP are expected to sharpen their stands. For DMK, the Tamil identity vellum remains a political weapon, while BJP sees it as divisive. The stalled Hindi snout may resurface later, but for now it has opened a new front in the ongoing state versus Centre narrative.
