ADVANI CALLS FOR IMPROVING AND ENRICHING
ONES OWN LANGUAGE
The Deputy Prime
Minister, Shri L.K. Advani today called upon the people to develop
love and affection to ones own language. He said there is nothing
wrong in learning or praising English or any other foreign language,
but the efforts should be to enrich and help prosper our own language
through which we generally communicate to our people. Shri Advani
was inaugurating the two-day Joint Regional Rajbhasha Sammelan
at Vigyan Bhawan, here. He said ours is a multi-lingual society
and every language of the Region is rich in its own field. Therefore,
further efforts should be made to help prosper these languages.
Referring to Hindi, the official language he said we should develop
love and special liking for this language which has proved itself
to function as a threat to bind the entire nation.
Shri Advani gave
away shields and certificates of merit to various organizations
of the Southern, Western and Central Regions of the country. He
called upon the awardees to keep it up and involve more and more
people in their stride to popularize Hindi.
