None can force TN to accept NEP, is PM accepting Pradhan's arrogance : Stalin

Chennai, Mar 10 (UNI) Asserting that Tamil Nadu would never accept the NEP
or none could force it to do so, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President
M K Stalin on Monday condemned Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
for speaking arrogantly in Parliament without providing due funds for the State and
sought to know whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepts it.
In a social media post, he said Mr Pradhan, who speaks with arrogance as if he were
a king, should learn restraint.
He took objections to his remarks calling Tamil Nadu MPs uncivilized and deceiving
the State by withholding its rightful funds.
Stating that Mr Pradhan was insulting the people of Tamil Nadu, Mr Stalin asked
whether Mr Modi accepts this and sought to know whether Mr Pradhan could release
the funds rightfully meant for Tamil Nadu students, which have been collected from
the State's own tax contributions, or not.
Declaring that Tamil Nadu will act only in accordance with the will of the people and
not obey the words of Nagpur like you do, the Chief Minister said Tamil Nadu was
neither willing to accept the NEP, which eugoloised implementing the three-language
policy in the state, nor none could force it on the State to do so.
Mr Stalin wrote on X condemning Mr Dharmendra Pradhan, who speaks arrogantly
without providing funds for Tamil Nadu.
"Union Education Minister,Thiru. Dharmendra Pradhan, who speaks with arrogance
as if he were a king, needs to learn restraint!", he said.
"You are deceiving Tamil Nadu by withholding its rightful funds, yet you call Tamil Nadu
MPs uncivilized?", Mr Stalin said.
"You are insulting the people of Tamil Nadu. Does the Hon’ble Prime Minister,Thiru.
Narendra Modi,accept this?", he sought to know.
"Was it not you who wrote me a letter stating that Tamil Nadu had completely rejected
the NEP, the three-language policy, and the PM SHRI MoU?", Mr Stalin pointed out.
"Mr. Pradhan, we act only in accordance with the will of the people! Not by obeying the
words of Nagpur like you do!!", he said, adding "We are neither willing to implement
your scheme nor can anyone force us to do so."
"Can you at least respond to a simple question—can you release the funds rightfully
meant for Tamil Nadu students, which have been collected from our own tax contributions,
or not?", he asked.
