Commemorating the historic milestone achieved by former Chief Minister Muthamizharignar Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi in securing official Classical Language status for Tamil, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin reaffirmed the unshakeable ideological resolve of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam to champion linguistic equality across India. Describing Tamil as the venerable mother of the great Dravidian language family, Stalin highlighted Kalaignar relentless decades-long struggle that compelled the Union Government to legally recognize the antiquity and classical independence of Tamil literature.

Following in the footsteps of his illustrious mentor, Stalin declared that the DMK government will persistently campaign to accord all twenty-two regional languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution the status of official co-working languages of the Union Government. Stalin asserted that true democratic federalism cannot coexist with linguistic hierarchy or the unconstitutional imposition of Hindi upon non-Hindi speaking nationalities. He stressed that administrative equality for regional tongues is imperative to guarantee equal citizenship rights, competitive opportunities, and cultural dignity for diverse linguistic communities comprising the Indian Union.

Stalin declaration resonated deeply with federal champions across the nation. By elevating native language rights to constitutional discourse, his leadership reaffirmed Tamil Nadu role protecting India rich linguistic pluralism.
