Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has issued a strong rebuttal to Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's comments in the Lok Sabha, where Pradhan accused the state government of dishonesty and jeopardizing students' futures. Stalin labeled Pradhan's remarks as arrogant and called for disciplinary action against him.

Pradhan alleged that Tamil Nadu had agreed to implement the PM SHRI scheme but reneged on the deal, prompting the DMK to protest and disrupt parliamentary proceedings. Pradhan accused the DMK of raising language barriers and playing politics.

In an interview with ANI, DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran countered Pradhan's claims, asserting that Tamil Nadu never agreed to the NEP or the three-language policy. MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi condemned Pradhan for calling Tamil Nadu leaders uncivilized, emphasizing ongoing disputes over funds and language policies.
