Congress Protests Against Hindi Push During Amit Shah's Tripura Visit

In Agartala, the Congress launched a protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit, expressing concerns over a perceived agenda to prioritize Hindi in India's linguistic landscape.

Held in front of the party's state headquarters, the demonstration coincided with Shah's participation at a conference on official languages, raising questions about the timing just ahead of International Mother Language Day.

The Congress claims there is a push to undermine local languages like Kokborok, prevalent among Tripura's tribes, and is demanding its recognition in the Constitution. Shah, however, asserted that promoting Hindi fortifies all languages.
