While Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says that such a policy must be accepted, the CM said he had already made it categorical that the policy shall not be accepted even if the Centre was to provide Rs 10,000 crore.

Pradhan should not take a class on democracy for the Tamil people.

Stalin said: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I have an appeal! Try to develop India rather than Hindi. Sanskrit cannot be developed even if you spend thousands of crores. You will spend crores to develop a language that is not spoken by the people.

Will you betray our Tamil language that is recognised in several countries and spoken by the people?"

On the fishermen issue, Stalin said a small country like Sri Lanka does not respect the Centre.

As many as 550 fishermen were arrested last year alone and during the past two months 130 were arrested.

During the 10-year Modi rule, 3,000 fishermen were arrested.
