Venkaiah asks MPs to speak in Hindi

TIMES NEWS NETWORK   04.04.2018

New Delhi: Emphasising the need to make Hindi more prevalent in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, chairman Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday advised non-Hindi speaking MPs to talk in the language without hesitation and fear of making grammatical mistakes. He also suggested that north Indians should learn a south Indian language, to promote national unity.

Naidu, who was conducting the annual meeting of the Hindi Salahkar Samiti, also expressed concern over the three-year gap in holding the meeting. The RS chairman directed that the Samiti meet twice a year from now on. The committee was formed for the promotion of use of Hindi in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat.

Referring to his own experience, Naidu recalled that he did not know Hindi when he first came to Delhi but soon picked up the language by speaking without any hesitation. “King can do no wrong. You are members of Parliament and can speak freely without the fear of committing mistakes,” Naidu said.

Reiterating that the best way of propagating Hindi is encouraging its use instead of forcing others to adopt the language, Naidu said knowing different languages is an advantage.
