Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu today called Hindi the "national language" earning him a sharp rebuke from the opposition and a fact check on social media. "Hindi is our national language, our identity and we should be proud of it," Mr Naidu said, adding that "it's very unfortunate that we are obsessed with English" which, according to him, was detrimental to the nation's progress.NDTV is one of the leaders in the production and broadcasting of un-biased and comprehensive news and entertainment programmes in India and abroad.
