Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has expressed outrage over the exclusion of Tamil language in a recruitment exam for the Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF), claiming that the mandate to write the test in only English and Hindi was discriminatory against Tamil speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stalin, in a letter addressed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, termed the move as \u201cblatant discrimination” as he claimed the mandating only English and Hindi was \u201cunilateral\u201d and breaches the Constitutional rights of aspirants from Tamil Nadu as it prevents them from taking the examination in their mother tongue in their own native state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stalin, in his letter to the Home Minister, pointed out the fact the 25 out of the 100 marks have been allotted for “basic comprehension in Hindi”, which he said can only benefit Hindi-speaking candidates and acts as an obstacle for aspirants from southern states of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the letter, the Tamil Nadu CM said the CRPF notification, in simple terms, is against the interests of those applying from Tamil Nadu, adding that the decision was not only unilateral but also discriminatory in nature and would prevent Tamil natives aspiring for a job in the CRPF from getting recruited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter quoted Stalin as telling the Home Minister: \u201cTo put it simply, this CRPF notification is against the interests of those applying from Tamil Nadu. This is not only unilateral but amounts to being disrcriminatory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MK Stalin in the letter asked Amit Shah to intervene in the matter and reverse the \u201cdiscriminatory\u201d decision and allow non-Hindi speaking aspirants to write the test in their regional languages, including Tamil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per a state government release on Sunday, of the 9,212 vacancies in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), 579 had to be filled from Tamil Nadu, the exam for which is scheduled to be held in 12 centres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
