Restore Punjabi among official languages in J&K: Sukhbir Badal

Restore Punjabi among official languages in J&K: Sukhbir Badal

Chandigarh, Sep 5 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal Saturday urged the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir to immediately restore to the Punjabi language its due status as an official language in the state.
Drawing the attention of the Lt Governor to “reports of the discriminatory exclusion of the Punjabi language as one of the official languages of Jammu and Kashmir,” in a letter released here Saturday afternoon, Mr Badal pointed out that “Punjabi is not only the mother tongue of a very significant part of the people of the state but it was also a recognised language duly certified in the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir.”
Stating that the SAD had always been in the forefront in the fight for justice for the mother tongue of crores of Punjabis, Mr Badal declared that the party “would not hesitate to do so in future also.”
