Never forget your mother tongue, says Mamata on Hindi Diwas

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee here on Saturday extended her best wishes on Hindi Diwas, but said one should never forget one's mother tongue.

In a tweet, Banerjee also called for respecting all languages and cultures. "My best wishes to all on #HindiDiwas. We should respect all languages and cultures equally. We may learn many languages, but we should not forget our mother language," Banerjee said.

हिंदी दिवस पर आप सभी को हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। हमें सभी भाषाओं और संस्कृतियों का समान रूप से सम्मान करना चाहिए। हम कई भाषाएँ सीख सकते हैं लेकिन हमें अपनी मातृ-भाषा को कभी नहीं भूलना चाहिए
