Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a new controversy on ‘One Nation, One Language’ the other day at a time when debates and arguments that the nation is falling into the grip of the economic downturn, are continuing. Strong protests broke out from states outside Hindi belt on it. The new controversy in the name of Hindi language is to divert public attention from reports that financial base is collapsing. Congress leader V T Balram MLA is connecting the controversial two issues. There are advantages in learning Hindi and finance minister is called ‘vith minister’ in Hindi. There is no other better word in any other language to describe the current economic situation, he said.
