India, Feb. 21 -- Tripura chief minister Manik Saha on Saturday said that everyone should speak in their own mother tongue first and there should be no compromise on it.

Speaking on the sidelines of an event celebrating International Mother Tongue Day in Agartala, Saha said, "Today is International Mother Tongue Day. Its history is known to all. Everyone should speak in their own mother tongue as said by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He said that everyone should interact with the children at home in their mother tongue, or else, our tradition, history and culture would be forgotten."
