All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) MLAs walked out of the State assembly on Friday during the budget presentation over the alleged Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (TASMAC) scam.
DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai said that the aim behind the usage of Tamil symbol 'Ru' in place of ₹ was to signify the protest of the state against the policies of the Union government.
The rupee symbol was designed by a Tamilian designer and IITian Dr Udaya Kumar and was selected in 2010 by then govt. However DMK Govt disrespected the Rupee symbol created by a Tamilian.
Malviya's remarks came after Stalin reiterated his stand against Hindi saying that Tamil Nadu was prepared for 'another language war' if the Hindi imposition continued.
DMK organized a major protest in Chennai against the BJP-led union government concerning the New Education Policy, the Trilingual Language System (Hindi imposition), and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
"The introduction of the three-language policy and the National Education Policy (NEP) are blatant attempts to impose Hindi and Sanskrit on non-Hindi-speaking states," MK Stalin claimed.
