Pawan Kalyan criticizes Tamil Nadu politicians for ‘hypocrisy’ over three-language row

Pawan Kalyan advocates multi-language culture and national unity

Jana Sena Party chief and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan emphasized the importance of multi-language culture and addressed key national issues during his party’s 12th formation day celebrations in Pithapuram constituency, Kakinada district on Friday. Speaking in multiple languages, including Tamil, Kannada, and Marathi, Kalyan expressed gratitude to his supporters across different states.

Promoting multi-language culture and criticism of language politics

During his speech at the Jayakethanam Sabha in Chitrada, Kalyan underscored the significance of embracing multiple languages across India. He strongly criticized Tamil Nadu’s opposition to the Hindi language and their stance on dubbing Tamil films in Hindi. He argued that linguistic diversity should be welcomed rather than opposed.

“I do not understand why some criticize Sanskrit. Why do Tamil Nadu politicians oppose Hindi while allowing their movies to be dubbed in Hindi for financial gains? They want money from Bollywood but refuse to accept Hindi. What kind of logic is that?” Kalyan said.

Personal experiences and concerns over religious discrimination

Kalyan recounted his past experiences of humiliation in Tamil Nadu during his youth. He raised concerns about religious discrimination and pseudo-secularism, asserting that Hindu deities often face disrespect without consequences.

“If anyone abused Jesus or Allah, there would be violent reactions. But, when Hindu gods or goddesses are insulted, no one reacts,” Kalyan stated.

He highlighted Sanatana Dharma’s significance and referenced the Vijayanagara dynasty’s role in constructing mosques, emphasizing that historical rulers upheld religious harmony.

Addressing the North-South divide and advocating for national unity

Kalyan spoke about the north-south divide in India, citing religious symbols like Kailasam in the north and Kumara Swamy Murugan in the south to emphasize unity. He declared his commitment to national integrity, stating he was even prepared to sacrifice his life for the cause.

Jana Sena’s political growth and electoral success

Reflecting on Jana Sena’s journey, Kalyan highlighted the party’s growth from a minor entity in 2019 to a key ally of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). He noted Jana Sena’s role in forming the NDA government and its increasing political influence.

Kalyan proudly announced the party’s electoral achievements, stating that Jana Sena secured 21 MLA seats and two MP seats with a perfect strike rate. He emphasized that this success gained national attention for the party.

Emphasizing Andhra Pradesh’s challenges and his political journey

Kalyan described Telangana as his birthplace and Andhra Pradesh as his Karma Bhoomi. He pointed out the struggles faced by the police department in Andhra Pradesh over the last five years. He explained that his political journey was driven by strong social emotions rather than personal ambition.

He paid tribute to 450 Jana Sena activists who lost their lives during the party’s 11-year journey, acknowledging their sacrifices. Addressing previous comments on Che Guevara, Kalyan clarified that his admiration stemmed from Guevara’s transition from medicine to social service, rather than political ideology.

Criticism of ideological labeling and support for linguistic harmony

Kalyan dismissed claims by national journalists that his ideological stance had shifted from left to center to right-wing. He argued that linguistic and ideological animosity is unnecessary.

Drawing a parallel, he pointed out that Muslims pray in Arabic or Urdu worldwide, just as Hindu priests chant in Sanskrit. He questioned whether these prayers should be conducted in Tamil or Telugu instead.

Praising supporters from Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Karnataka

During his speech, Kalyan acknowledged Jana Sena’s growing support in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. He noted that many Tamil people listen to his Telugu speeches, expressing gratitude for their love and support.

“Multiple languages strengthen our country. This principle should apply to all states, including Tamil Nadu,” Kalyan stated.

Commitment to Sanatana Dharma and religious equality

Kalyan addressed critics questioning his commitment to Sanatana Dharma, asserting that it is deeply ingrained in his blood. He revealed that he has been observing religious fasts since the age of 14 and does not need validation from anyone.

He raised concerns over attacks on Hindu temples, mentioning that despite 219 temple atrocities, he did not resort to agitation. He questioned whether people would dare to insult Prophet Muhammad, Allah, Christ, or Mother Mary in the same manner as Ram, Shiva, Parvati, or Ayyappa.

He concluded by emphasizing that justice should be the same for all religions and that India’s rulers have historically built mosques and churches, promoting religious coexistence.
