A PMO statement said the attention of the government had been drawn to the concerns expressed about instructions on the use of Hindi in non-Hindi speaking states. However, "this (instruction) is neither a new policy nor an attempt to impose the use of Hindi on any non-Hindi speaking state," it said.
The department of official languages, ministry of home affairs, issued a circular on March 10, 2014, stating that Hindi speaking states must give equal importance to the use of Hindi on its social media platforms. The instructions reiterated that both English and Hindi should be used on official Twitter, Facebook, blogs and other platforms by the Central Government, it added.
The PMO also clarified that that these instructions of the department of official languages did not seek to impose communication in Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states.
"The instructions of department of official languages have only reiterated the existing Government of India's policy on the use of
Hindi in which the use of Hindi is compulsory in government's communication only in the Hindi speaking states," it clarified.
In its circular dated May 27, the ministry of home affairs communicated the above guidelines of the department of official languages with regard to the social media to the departments under the ministry of home affairs.
On Thursday, DMK leader M Karunanidhi flayed the Centre for 'imposing' Hindi on non- Hindi states. Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa and BJP allies in Tamil Nadu -- MDMK and PMK -- also urged PM Narendra Modi to ensure English is used in official social media accounts.
Former Union finance minister P Chidambaram said there would be a backlash in non-Hindi speaking states, especially Tamil Nadu, if the Centre imposed the language on these states.
CPM leader Brinda Karat condemned the Centre saying the push for Hindi was against constitutional spirit of linguistic equality.
