New Delhi, Sep 11 (UNI) The writers have protested over Sahitya Akademi extending invitation to TV baron and Rajya Sabha MP Subhash Chandra to be the chief guest on the occasion of Hindi Diwas this year to deliberate on 'challenges before Hindi language' charging that the politicisation of the akademi was being attempted. Akademi president Vishwanath Tiwari told UNI that he is in no way connected to Mr Chandra and he was not in the know regarding the decision to invite him for the event. The Akademi invites personalities from across all sections of society including Hindi intellectuals, Bank officers, Hindi academicians and politicians.Therefore, Mr Chandra has been called. This is not a cultural programme. On being queried upon as to why Mr Chandra has been called as a 'famous scholar' , Mr Tiwari expressed surprise but refused to comment. A renowned comedy poet Ashok Chakardhar has also been invited in the seminar on "Present status of Hindi, challenges and remedies.' Mr Chandra has been designated as ' popular scholar' on the invitation card. Zee TV is the co-sponsor of the the seminar and its logo is printed on the invitation card.
