Mamata demands JEE in all the regional languages
Kolkata/UNI: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today stressed on the need for setting questions in regional languages in the all-India Joint Entrance Examination.
"Our country is India, which is home to so many religions, cultures, languages, creeds and communities. However, maligning all regions and regional languages is the intention of the government at the Centre," she stated on her Facebook post.
"Joint Entrance Exams so long were conducted in English and Hindi languages. Surprisingly, now only Gujarati language has been added," Ms Banerjee said.
"Such a step is not at all praiseworthy. I love Gujarati language. But, why have other regional languages been ignored? Why injustice is being meted out to them?" the Chief Minister asked.
"If Gujarati has to be there, then all regional languages including Bengali must be there. Unless this issue is decided gracefully, there will be strong protests all around as sentiments of people who speak other regional languages would be deeply hurt due to this injustice," Ms Banerjee observed.
