Cong claims govt likely to tweak criteria for classical language tag, flags concerns


PTI, Jul 9, 2024, 5:37 PM IST

The Congress on Tuesday claimed the government is likely to change the criterion for classical language classification and asked whether this is an attempt to prevent Marathi from being recognised as one.

Congress general secretary, in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh shared on X a report of The Hindu which claimed that the central government has decided to tweak the criteria for giving the classical language tag.

“For 10 years, the Indian National Congress has been demanding that Marathi be declared as a classical language. The-then CM of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan had written to the non-biological PM’s then-Minister for Culture and Tourism Shripad Naik on this subject on 11th July, 2014. On 13th May, I had reiterated Prithviraj Chavan’s demand,” Ramesh said.
