"Today, on the occassion of Hindi Diwas, I appeal all the citizens of India to increase the usage of our own mother tongues. Along with this, contribute to the fufillment of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel's dream of 'one nation, one language' dream by enhancing the usage of Hindi language"- tweeted Shah.

In Tamil Nadu, the anti-Hindi protests were spearheaded by AIADMK and DMK. The then CM of Karnataka HD Kumaraswamy had also opposed the clause making Hindi as compulsory in all the schools.
