CRPF Recruitment 2023: Tamil Nadu CM writes to Home Minister seeking inclusion of Tamil language in test
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has reached out to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah opposing the non-inclusion of Tamil in the computer test for recruitment to the CRPF. The Chief Minister termed the notification mandating only the use of English and Hindi as discriminatory and unilateral. As per the state government release, out of the 9,212 vacancies in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), 579 had to be filled from Tamil Nadu. The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will be holding the CRPF exam in 12 centers.
The CM wrote to the Home Minister in a letter that "the Centre's notification that the exam can be written in English and Hindi makes the aspirants from Tamil Nadu unable to attempt the test in their mother tongue in their own native state."
"Further, 25 out of the 100 marks have been allotted for basic comprehension in Hindi which would only benefit the Hindi-speaking candidates. To put it simply, this CRPF notification is against the interests of those applying from Tamil Nadu. This is not only unilateral but amounts to being discriminatory," the release quoted the CM as telling Shah.
The Chief Minister further added that this will amount to prevent aspirants from taking up a government job and added the notification was against the aspirants' Constitutional right.
The Chief Minister has also sought the immediate intervention of the Home Minister to allow non-Hindi speaking youngsters to take up the test by allowing regional languages, including Tamil in the exam process.
