Karnataka CM writes to PM on language policy


Bangalore, Aug 10 (PTI) Karnataka government today asked the Centre to
ensure "convergence" in the approach of the two governments when the
state's appeal in Supreme Court against an order of the High Court on
its language policy comes up for hearing this month.

"It may be advisable for governments of India and Karnataka to adopt a
similar stand while filing the counter affidavit before Supreme Court
when the state's Special Leave Petition comes for hearing by this
month end", Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa said in a letter to Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh.

The Karnataka High Court had on July 2, 2008 struck down the 1994
language policy that made Kannada the compulsory medium of instruction
in primary schools. Challenging this, the state has filed the SLP in
the Apex court.
