Rupee Symbol Controversy: DMK and BJP clash
Chennai mein, ekdum garam khabar aa rahi hai! Tamil Nadu ke budget mein rupee symbol ki jagah Tamil letter ‘Ru’ use karne par ekdum zor-shor se bawaal ho gaya hai. BJP wale keh rahe hain ki DMK ne aisa karke Tamil logon ka apmaan kiya hai, kyunki rupee symbol design karne wale Udaya Kumar, ek Tamil aadmi hain aur unke pitaji DMK ke MLA bhi reh chuke hain. DMK wale bol rahe hain ki woh Tamil bhasha ko promote karna chahte hain, isliye ‘Ru’ use kiya hai.
DMK vs BJP: Kya hai maajra?
Reports ke mutaabik, DMK ne Tamil Nadu ke budget mein rupee symbol ki jagah Tamil letter ‘Ru’ use kiya, jiske baad BJP state president K Annamalai ne DMK ko ‘stupid’ keh diya. Unhone kaha ki DMK ko pata bhi nahin hai ki rupee symbol design karne wale Udaya Kumar, ek Tamil aadmi hain aur unke pitaji DMK ke MLA bhi reh chuke hain. DMK ne is baat ka jawaab dete hue kaha ki woh Tamil bhasha ko promote karna chahte hain, isliye ‘Ru’ use kiya hai.
Udaya Kumar kaun hain?
Udaya Kumar, jinke pitaji DMK ke MLA reh chuke hain, ne 2009 mein rupee symbol design kiya tha. Unhone Devanagari ‘Ra’ aur Roman ‘R’ ko milakar yeh symbol banaya tha. 2010 mein is symbol ko officially adopt kar liya gaya.
Language War: DMK aur BJP mein takrar
Annamalai ji ne yeh bhi kaha ki DMK ‘language war’ chhedna chahti hai. DMK aur central government ke beech National Education Policy ko lekar bhi jhagda chal raha hai. DMK chahti hai ki Tamil Nadu mein sirf Tamil aur English padhaya jaaye, jabki central government chahti hai ki teen bhasha padhai jaaye.
Public Support: Kya hai logo ka kehna?
Annamalai ji ne three-language policy ke support mein ek campaign bhi chala rahe hain, jismein 14 lakh se zyada logon ne signature kiye hain. DMK ka kehna hai ki ‘Ru’ use karne mein kuch galat nahin hai aur woh Tamil bhasha ko promote karna chahte hain.
Aage kya hoga?
Abhi toh yeh dekhna hai ki is ‘Rupee Symbol’ controversy ka kya anjaam nikalta hai. Kya DMK apna decision badlegi ya BJP apni baat par adig rahegi? Yeh toh waqt hi batayega.
