Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday had pitched for Hindi as a common language for the country, reigniting the debate on the issue as a section of political parties in South India said they would oppose any attempt to "impose" the language.

Opposition parties in Karnataka, both Congress and JD(S) had hit out at BJP and Shah, charging them with attempting to "impose Hindi".

CLP leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had even gone on to call Shah "homewrecker" for his comments.

"India has rich history & diverse geography. Each explains its own vibrant culture & practice. We have to embrace the diversity to remain United.

@AmitShah is like a wicked insider in a joint family who find ways to break the unity. This home wrecker needs to be taught a lesson!!" he had tweeted.
