DMK today joined a host of parties in opposing a UPSC notification for scrapping of regional language paper, describing it as an attempt to "impose" Hindi and that the move will affect rural aspirants.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, DMK chief M Karunanidhi sought immediate withdrawal of the notification, terming it as a "big blow" to rural aspirants.
He said according to it, only when there are a minimum number of 25 candidates qualified in a particular language, will they be permitted to write their answers in that language and this has come as a "big blow" to rural aspirants.
"But this restriction, according to the notification, is not applicable to Hindi and English. In the main examinations, candidates can write answers only in the language which was their medium in the Degree Courses," he said.
