"Why Not Sanskrit?": Kangana Ranaut's Pick Amid National Language Row
NDTV
Ajay Devgn's comments had sparked a debate on Hindi imposition as BJP's Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and NC's Omar Abdullah, Congress' Siddaramaiah and JD-S' H D Kumaraswamy backed India's linguistic diversity.
Actor Kangana Ranaut on Friday said Ajay Devgn is not wrong in saying that Hindi is our national language, but everyone has the right to take pride in their language and culture.
Kangana Ranaut also said denying Hindi as the national language is denying the Constitution.
The actor was responding to Ajay Devgn's comments that "Hindi was, is and will always be our national language", a remark that he made to counter South star Kichcha Sudeep's comments that Hindi was no longer the national language.
When asked about the Twitter argument between Devgn and Sudeep that sparked a major controversy, the usually combative Kangana Ranaut tried to balance her response.
