Claims against Malayalam Language Bill a gimmick: Aikya Malayala Prasthanam

The Aikya Malayala Prasthanam, a forum of organizations promoting the Malayalam language, argues that the Kerala Assembly's Malayalam Language Bill, 2025, is not unconstitutional and does not infringe on Kannada-speaking linguistic minorities. The organization claims that Karnataka's recent actions regarding the bill are politically motivated attempts to encroach upon Kerala's constitutional right to define its official language and first language in education. The Aikya Malayala Prasthanam asserts that the Bill provides for multilingualism, with students having the option to study Malayalam alongside their mother tongue, and that it protects minority language rights.
