India, an aspirational nation in the world, cannot afford to be divided on the issue of languages, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Tuesday.

He appealed to the people to consider the future well-being of the country and "get over this storm." Additionally, he made a strong pitch for implementing the National Education Policy 2020 in letter and spirit, as it was a "game changer" in the education sector that could spur further development of the country.

Speaking at Pondicherry University, Dhankhar, who is the chancellor of the varsity, lamented that there was opposition to languages, without naming anyone.
