This tweet reads, "This directive reeks of language chauvinism. India has 22 official languages & Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi etc are included. Every Indian should have the right to converse in a language of their choice & no one should infringe on that basic right".

However, GIPMER withdrew its controversial circular within hours after facing serious criticism from across the country. The hospital management explained that the circular was issued without informing them. It is learned that the Delhi Ministry of Health has also issued a memo to GIPMER Hospital on the issuance of this controversial circular.
