‘This has become a perennial problem; it should not be repeated’
The Centre has informed the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday that the reply in Hindi by the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai to a query raised by Madurai Member of Parliament Su. Venkatesan was unintentional and the English version of the communication was not sent inadvertently.
The court was also informed that the same mistake was repeated again. It was submitted that the MP had received an invite in Hindi to the foundation stone laying ceremony for the new Parliament building. It was only after Mr. Venkatesan raised objection again, a communication was sent in English, after two days.
