Karunanidhi filed a notice for a breach of parliamentary privilege on Monday against Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

The controversy erupted when Pradhan reportedly referred to Tamil Nadu MPs as "uncivilised" during a parliamentary discussion

Kanimozhi, deeply agitated by the comments, has called the term "uncivilised" a derogatory and unparliamentary expression

She argued that such remarks were unacceptable, especially when directed at elected representatives

"The words that have been used against our CM and our MPs are terrible... 'Uncivilised' is not a word we can use even against any human being in this country," Kanimozhi said while speaking to the press, according to the ANI

It is the most derogatory word that can be used. We have given notice, and I think this will not end with this... BJP is having a problem looking at the southern states' growth because they are not able to achieve it," she said

Kanimozhi further expressed her discontent over the central government's handling of the three-language policy. The three-language policy, which proposes teaching three languages in schools across India, has been a contentious issue, especially in southern states like Tamil Nadu, where English and Tamil have been the preferred languages of instruction
