Rai highlighted PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s sincere efforts in promoting Hindi as a national language. Praising Shah’s love for the language, Rai quoted a senior Home Ministry official to share how the Minister had once torn apart a letter written in English by a senior bureaucrat stating that he would have appreciated it if it was in Hindi. 

Rai said Hindi should be the primary language of communication and English should only be used where necessary. He also expressed his gratitude for the honour bestowed upon him. Upendra Rai’s well-deserved laurels are also being seen as global recognition of the Sahara India Family’s service in the media industry.
