The new National Education Policy (NEP) will give due importance to every language in the country, doing justice to students and forcing those who do politics over language for spreading hate to shut shop, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said .
Delivering the inaugural address at an event to mark the third anniversary of the launch of the NEP, Modi said judging students on the basis of their language instead of their capabilities is the biggest injustice to them.
“The National Educational Policy will give due respect and credit to every language in the country…. Those who do politics over language for their selfish interests to run their ‘nafrat ki dukaan’ (business of spreading hate) will now have to shut shop,” the prime minister said.
