DMK: Centre dropping Hindi norm shows 'Kalaignar is living'

Welcoming the Centre dropping the contentious clause of mandatory Hindi teaching, the DMK on Monday said it showed that late party patriarch M Karunanidhi was "living," apparently suggesting that it was a success to his legacy of opposing "imposition" of Hindi.

"Let us guard mother Tamil always breaking up the hegemonic imposition of Hindi," he said. The DMK is today celebrating the 95th birth anniversary of Karunanidhi, who pas
