New Delhi: Despite the nation’s official language is Hindi, but making statement in English by the Union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal has upset the leaders of Samajwadi Party. Answering a question in English Kapil Sibal declined to reply in Hindi by saying he never forced MPs to speak in English.
As the minister spoke in English over matters related to education, Samajwadi Party members asked him to reply in Hindi. A furious Sibal said that answering in any language was his prerogative.
“Why should I answer in Hindi? Am I asking you to ask questions in English?” he retorted.
