Will Destroy Tamil Nadus Education System: Stalin Slams Centre Over NEP, Terms It Saffronise Policy

Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin renewed his attack on Wednesday over the National Education Policy (NEP), calling it a “saffron policy" that aimed at developing Hindi not India.

Stepping up his attacks at an event in Tiruvallur, the DMK leader said, "The National Education Policy is not education policy. It is a saffronisation policy. The policy is not created to develop India but to develop Hindi. We are opposing the Policy as it would destroy the Tamil Nadu education system completely."

"We are asking for your tax share, which we paid with our efforts. What is the problem with this? Is it fair to threaten without releasing funds for the welfare of 43 lakh schools? As we didn't accept NEP, they are refusing to release funds that belong to Tamil Nadu. We would have welcomed the scheme if it brought everyone into education. But is NEP like that? NEP has all the factors that remove people from education. This is how this policy is, and that's why we are opposing it," he added, as per the ANI report.
