Real battle between regional languages and Hindi: Yadav

He said the government is addressing this issue like a battle between Hindi versus English, while in real it should be regional languages versus English.
While talking to the media, he said that the AAP supported the UPSC aspirants’ anti-CSAT agitation and demanded that the government postpone the 24 August preliminary test. ‘We completely support the USPC anti-CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) agitation, which is not against English or in support of Hindi. The protest demands justice to all Indian languages in the examination,’ said Yadav.
He said his party is of the view that the UPSC aspirants’ demands are right and the government has ditched them by not fulfilling the same. ‘The government kept engaging the students. Union ministers only gave assurance to delay the decision and ultimately gave what the students never wanted,’ said Yadav.
The government on Monday said marks for English language comprehension skills will not be included in preparing the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) merit list. The UPSC students have been protesting for the past two weeks, asking the government to scrap the CSAT while calling it ‘discriminatory’ against those with Hindi and humanities background.
Aspiring civil services candidates on Tuesday staged a protest at Jantar Mantar over the CSAT row, where they were joined by Yadav.
