In a statement issued here on Tuesday, he said it was unfortunate that the Speaker did not come to the rescue of a Member, who was being humiliated in the Parliament.

“People will not tolerate humiliation in the name of language and dialect. Members should be encouraged to speak in Hindi” said Sambasiva Rao.

The entire episode also exposes the BJP’s larger conspiracy to force Hindi on the people of the country, despite India being a union of different States. This illogical move of the BJP government’s would be opposed by the people, especially those from Southern States, he added.
