Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday lashed out at his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath on the language row, dubbing his remarks as “political black comedy” and said his state was not opposing a language, but its “imposition and chauvinism”.

He claimed Tamil Nadu’s fair and firm voice on the two language policy and fair delimitation “is echoing nationwide, and the BJP is clearly rattled.” “And now Hon’ble Yogi Adityanath wants to lecture us on hate? Spare us. This isn’t irony, it’s political black comedy at its darkest. We don’t oppose any language; we oppose imposition and chauvinism,” Stalin said in a post on X.
