`India`s much bigger than Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva`, tweets Asaduddin Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi Saturday lashed out Home Minister Amit Shah over his statement pitching Hindi as the language for the whole country.

“Hindi isn't every Indian's 'mother tongue'. Could you try appreciating the diversity & beauty of the many mother tongues that dot this land? Article 29 gives every Indian the right to a distinct language, script & culture. India's much bigger than Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva,” tweeted the Hyderabad MP.

Hindi is the fourth language of the world, spoken by 250 million people. Hindi Diwas is celebrated in schools and colleges to make students understand the importance of the day.
