Translation will be done in these six languages

Om Birla said that it is his endeavor to translate the proceedings of the House into all the 22 recognized languages ​​simultaneously.

He said that the Indian Parliament is the only legislative institution in the world where the proceedings are being translated into so many languages ​​simultaneously. 

DMK MP objects to Sanskrit

DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran objected to the decision to translate proceedings into Sanskrit. He said that according to government data, only 73 thousand people speak Sanskrit in the country, then why is taxpayers' money being wasted. Birla dismissed his objection and said, "Which country are you living in? Sanskrit has been the original language of India. Why do you object to Sanskrit? We are talking about translation into all 22 languages."

Apart from this, the demand to include Bhojpuri language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution was also raised in the Lok Sabha. During the Zero Hour in the House, SP member from Salempur, Uttar Pradesh, Ramashankar Rajbhar said that Bhojpuri language is spoken in eight countries of the world and it is a language spoken in every household of Purvanchal. He demanded from the government that this language should be included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
