BJP MP Nishikant Dubey was speaking in Hindi in Lok Sabha on Tuesday when there was a technical glitch in the translator system. Following this, DMK MPs requested him to speak in English.
Dubey refused to do so, saying English is a foreign language.
"...It would have been better if you had asked me to speak in Tamil or Bengali. English is a foreign language, and your insistence on it reflects your mindset. Someone spoke in Bengali for half an hour, yet Tamil Nadu MPs didn't object. You only have a problem with Hindi. Congress and its allies don't like North Indians or Hindi. If you keep promoting English, we'll end up becoming England," the BJP MP said, adding, "Hum phir se gulaam ho jayenge (We will become slaves again)..."
Fortunately, the technical glitch was resolved after a few minutes, and Dubey was able to finish his speech.
"India lost 45 aircraft in the 1965 war and 71 aircraft in the 1971 war. But we never made this an issue as we are nationalists," he said, accusing opposition of spreading falsehoods regarding India's losses in Operation Sindoor.
