The ruling BJP in MCD on Tuesday, Sep 14 claimed that the hoardings and banners for Commonwealth Games put up in various parts of the city have been printed in English alone and dubbed it as an "insult" to Indian culture.
Leader of the MCD House Subhash Arya said if Hindi was not given its due respect in a week, Hindi-lovers will be "compelled to add" words in the national language on the blank space in the banners and posters.
"The hoardings, banners and posters put up at various sites in the city for the ensuing Commonwealth Games have been printed in English alone, thereby neglecting Hindi," the BJP leader said and termed it as "an insult" to Indian culture.
"Nowhere in the world the national language is so bluntly ignored and humiliated," he said at the inauguration of the 'Hindi Week' organised by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi at its headquarters in Town Hall.
