Mumbai, December 16: After Maharashtra assembly officials refused to give him legislature agenda in Hindi, Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi today said he would approach the Supreme Court on the issue.
“The assembly secretary has refused to give me the assembly programme in Hindi. So I would approach the Supreme Court in some days for getting the programme in Hindi along with Marathi,” Azmi told reporters here.
Azmi had written a letter to the Principal Secretary of the state legislature demanding the assembly agenda in Hindi instead of English during the last session of the legislature.
“English is a foreign language and Hindi is our national language. The Assembly should provide me material in Hindi,” he said.
However, with no provision in Legislature for Hindi programme, his demand was rejected.
Azmi said it would also take the matter with Commission and Committee of Parliament on Official Languages.
