										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As he addressed the Akhil Bharatiya Rajbhasha Sammelan on the second and last day of his visit to Varanasi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Union home minister Amit Shah said that people should take pleasure in speaking Hindi. Shah, who would go to Azamgarh from Varanasi, also hailed right-wing ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar for his &#8220;efforts to promote the language,&#8221; as he put it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Time has come to take pride in speaking Hindi, &#8221; the Union home minister said, adding that parents should converse with their children in their local tongue because &#8220;original thoughts come from our language.&#8221; The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader went on to say that the &#8216;inferiority complex&#8217; about Hindi that arose during British rule should be abolished.</p>
