Chennai: The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin, is planning to bring a new bill in the Assembly that could ban Hindi movies, songs, and hoardings across the state. The bill may be tabled today during the last day of the monsoon session of the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

According to sources, the DMK government wants to stop what it sees as the “imposition” of Hindi in the state. An emergency meeting with legal experts was held on Tuesday night to make sure the bill follows the Constitution.

The proposed law would ban the use of Hindi in public advertisements, hoardings, cinema, and songs. The government has said it is not against the Hindi language, but it does not want Hindi to be forced on people in Tamil Nadu.
