As the country observed Hindi Diwas on Wednesday, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said Hindi is the friend of all Indian languages and it "unites the whole nation in a thread of unity" as an official language.

The minister took to Twitter to express his views at the event and made it clear that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is committed for the "parallel development" of all local languages including Hindi.

"Official language Hindi unites the nation in the thread of unity. Hindi is a friend of all Indian languages. Modi's government is committed for the parallel development of all local languages including Hindi. I salute the great personalities who have contributed in the preservation and promotion of Hindi. Happy 'Hindi Diwas' to all," Shah tweeted in Hindi.

The minister's views came hours before taking part in the second All India Official Language Conference organized on the occasion of Hindi Diwas in Surat. Every year Hindi Diwas is observed on September 14.

The day is dedicated to the Hindi language after it was announced as the official language of the Union of India.
