There should neither be imposition, nor opposition to any language: Venkaiah Naidu

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Friday urged people neither to oppose nor impose any language and pitched for learning as many languages as possible.

Mr Naidu made these observations days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Hindi should be a common language, triggering a political row.

"Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today called upon people to learn as many languages as possible and asserted that there should not be imposition of any language, nor should there be opposition to any particular language," a statement issued by his secretariat said.
