Former chief minister of Karnataka HD Kumaraswamy spoke out against Hindi imposition through a tweet.
ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಷೆ, ವಿಭಿನ್ನ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ, ಪರಂಪರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಒಡಲಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡ ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ, ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರೂ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಅನ್ಯ ಭಾಷಿಕರ ಮೇಲೆ ಹಿಂದಿಯನ್ನು ಬಲವಂತವಾಗಿ ಹಲವು ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಹೇರಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇಂದಿನ ಕೂಡ ಅಂಥದ್ದೇ ಅಪಮಾರ್ಗ. ಭಾಷಾ ಅಹಂಕಾರದ ಸಂಕೇತವಾದ ಹಿಂದಿ ದಿವಸಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಪ್ರಬಲ ವಿರೋಧವಿದೆ.

Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao also shared his opinion against the imposition of Hindi across the country.
'ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನೇ ಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮ' ಎನ್ನುವ ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಸಹಮತವಿದೆ.
ಕೇಂದ್ರ ತ್ರಿಭಾಷಾ ಸೂತ್ರದ ಮೂಲಕ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಲವಂತದ ಹಿಂದಿ ಏರಿಕೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಖಂಡನೀಯ.
ದೆಹಲಿ ಹುಕುಂ ಪಾಲಿಸಲು ಶಿರ ಬಾಗಿಸಿ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ, ತ್ರಿಭಾಷಾ ಸೂತ್ರದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸೊಲ್ಲೆತ್ತದೆ ಇರುವುದು ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ದ್ರೋಹ!!
The social media campaign not only coincided with Hindi Day but also came at a time when the National Education Policy (NEP) mentioned the three-language formula and the translation of the draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) notification was done in Hindi but no other languages.
