Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao who can speak in Andhra and Telangana dialects apart from Hindi and English said, everyone should have the right to converse in the language they like. No one should violate the right, KTR said.
“This directive reeks of language chauvinism. India has 22 official languages & Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, etc are included. Every Indian should have the right to converse in a language of their choice & no one should infringe on that basic right,” KTR tweeted earlier today.
His tweet has won the hearts of the netizens and they had lauded the IT Minister for reacting to the news of nursing staff receiving orders from the hospital authorities to not converse in their mother language.
According to the news article, the nursing staff were asked not to converse in Malayalam. The orders were issued after a patient complained to the authorities. A hospital in Delhi suggested that the staff should speak in Hindi and English only.
This was reported in the news papers and KTR reacted very sharply against this.
