Opposition MPs Protest Hindi Names for Bills, Allege Imposition

  • Opposition MPs objected to Hindi names for new legislations in Lok Sabha.
  • The objection arose during the introduction of the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill.
  • MPs cited Article 348(b) of the Constitution, which mandates English names for legislation, as being violated.
  • Congress and DMK members voiced concerns about Hindi imposition, especially on southern states.
  • Similar protests occurred previously over Hindi names for bills replacing the IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act.

Why It Matters: It highlights a constitutional and linguistic conflict in Indian lawmaking.
