Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin praised his sister and Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi for declaring “unity in diversity” as India’s national language. 

The comment was made during her official visit to Spain as part of India’s international outreach delegation following Operation Sindoor military strikes against Pakistan.

Kanimozhi’s statement drew widespread attention, amid ongoing debates on language and national identity.

I feel proud to see (my) sister Kanimozhi, who spoke as the voice of India, presenting Tamil Nadu’s language of love — the language of unity — to the world!”
