Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday lashed out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, calling his remarks on hate and division "political black comedy at its darkest."

Responding to Adityanath’s statement in an interview with ANI, where he accused Stalin of creating divisions based on region and language, the Tamil Nadu CM said that BJP had been "rattled" by Tamil Nadu’s firm stance on the two-language policy and fair delimitation.

Stalin has also strongly opposed the implementation of the three-language formula under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020."And now Hon'ble Yogi Adityanath wants to lecture us on hate? Spare us. This isn't irony, it's political black comedy at its darkest," Stalin posted on social media.

Stalin reiterated that Tamil Nadu’s opposition is against "language imposition" and "chauvinism," not any specific language, emphasizing that the issue is a fight for dignity and justice.
