PM Modi cautions against attempts to discriminate on basis of language
NEW DELHI, Feb 21 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday cautioned against attempts to discriminate on the basis of language, asserting that there has never been any animosity among Indian languages and each has enriched the other.
Addressing the inaugural function of the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan (ABMSS) here, Modi hailed Marathi as a complete language and recited a verse of Saint Dyaneshwar that described Marathi as “sweeter than nectar”.
The prime minister said he has special affection for the Marathi language and culture and he takes pride in the fact that a remarkable Marathi-speaking individual sowed the seeds of the RSS 100 years ago.
