Can Amit Shah's anti-English remark be justified?

The union government led by BJP has often been accused by opposition parties including the DMK, of focusing on developing Hindi and Sanskrit languages, rather than developing other Indian languages.
India’s population, according to the 2011 census, is 126.12 crore. The union government has been working hard to make Sanskrit, mother tongue of just 24,821 people which is less than 1% of the Indian population, a dominant language in the country.  The union government has allocated a sum of Rs 2,346 crore in the last ten years to teach Sanskrit in Delhi University, and has been taking numerous steps to include Sanskrit in school education.

Confirming this, BJP leader and union home minister Amit Shah, in an event in New Delhi, said that Sanskrit is the mother tongue of many Indian languages. He did not stop there. He went ahead, when he made a remark, ‘English speakers in India might become ashamed soon’, at the book launch ceremony of former Indian civil servant Ashutosh.  

English has been a common language of communication in the country since it is home to multiple languages, and to prevent domination of one particular language. That’s why Hindi and Sanskrit imposition has been opposed severely. The fall of English means the rise of Hindi in the country.
However, information related to Amit Shah’s remark against English were removed instantly from ANI media after the remark was met with displeasure. Many have been questioning the necessity to remove the information.

At a time when Hindi imposition has been constantly condemned by political parties and activities, is the BJP implementing a ‘Plan B’ to indirectly impose Hindi by removing English. Is it fair to pass such a casual remark on a sensitive subject that needs proper discussion in Parliament? This is the question of the public.
