Regarding this matter, the central government has said that no proposal of 'one country one language' is under consideration. The government has given this answer by clarifying the situation in this matter after the agitation by pro-Kannada organizations in non-Hindi speaking states. Minister of State for Home Kishan Reddy gave this information in a written reply to a question during the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha. He said that all the languages listed in the Constitution have been given equal importance. The provisions related to languages in the Constitution are included in the concurrent list. The question was whether the government wanted to implement the same language across the country?
In response to another question in his statement, Reddy said that the Police Research and Development Bureau has been asked to review various laws including IPC, CRPC. He said that suggestions were sought from states and Union Territories regarding strengthening law and order and simplifying legal procedures. So far, three states Jammu and Kashmir (now Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh), Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh have given their comments.
Apart from this, Reddy told in written reply to another question in Rajya Sabha that during the year 2015-17, 28,000 people including children and women have gone missing from eight northeastern states. He said that out of total 27,967 people missing, 19,344 are from Assam, 4,455 from Tripura, 1,385 from Meghalaya, 999 from Manipur, 974 from Sikkim, 457 from Arunachal Pradesh, 343 from Nagaland and 10 from Mizoram. He said that the figures for the year 2018 and 2019 are not yet available.
