Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday claimed that under the NDA government, a favourable atmosphere had emerged for the resurgence of Sanskrit.
He said while there was no opposition to any language, no one could be distanced from their mother tongue and Sanskrit was the mother of nearly all Indian languages.

Addressing the closing ceremony of 1008 Sanskrit Sambhashan Shivirs in the national capital, Shah noted that the decline of Sanskrit began even before the era of colonial rule and its revival would require time and sustained effort.
He emphasised that a favourable atmosphere had emerged across the country for the resurgence of Sanskrit under the NDA government. He further added that the government, public and the collective mindset of people were firmly dedicated and committed to the revival and promotion of Sanskrit.
