KARACHI: Members from across the aisle in the Sindh Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution demanding that the Sindhi language be granted the status of national language.
While expressing their views on the resolution, the opposition and treasury lawmakers also demanded that the major languages spoken in the provinces of the country also be given status of national languages.
The resolution was tabled by Pakistan Peoples Party’s Heer Soho, who said that the mother tongues should be made mandatory part of the curriculum and all languages spoken in the country should be declared as national languages.
She said that there was a bill pending in the National Assembly in this regard and it should be approved.
She also paid tributes to the Sindhi Language Authority for organising the language conference on the occasion of the International Language Day.
The PPP MPA said that Sindhi language was not spoken in the schools of the city and emphasised the need of introducing it in the educational institutions.
Muhammad Hussain of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan said that every person was proud of their mother tongue as children got their first lesson from it. “Just as people want respect for their own language, so the language of others should also be respected,” he added.
Nand Kumar of the Grand Democratic Alliance also read the resolution and said that whoever got education in their mother tongue, their intelligence shone. “As many languages are spoken in the country, they should be given the status of national languages,’ he demanded.
PPP’s Marvi Faseeh said Sindhi language was 5,000 years old. She said that many languages had been given the status of national language in our neighbouring country.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s Sanjay Ghangwani demanded that the language bill in the National Assembly be passed.
Kulsoom Chandio of the PPP said that teachers were unable to teach Sindhi language to the students at schools.
Syed Abdur Rahseed, the lone MPA of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, said that the progress of the developed and developing countries should be seen. “If you look at their literacy rate, it is their mother tongue behind the success,” he added.
