Jang gud editorial in support of Pakistani mother tongues YET...
Finally Pakistan's Urdu press amended its mind set and Jang took the lead in support of Pakistani mother tongues and establishment of a languge commision at federal level. Hope Express, Daily Times, Pakistan Today, Tribune etc will follows it. Although there are some misconception too in editorial yet its timing is admirable. British Indian administration have a double standard policy regarding Use of mother tongues. For example they adopted Bengali and later on Sindhi as media of instruction yet in Punjab including Khyber PK , Qallat and Kashmir they used Urdu in 1865-78. In Madrass during 1867, instead of Tamil they inforced Hindi. In India, they setup Dar Commision and tackle the isue of languages yet the article regarding dividing provinces with simple majority and without aproval of the province was a bad taste in Indian constitution.
Wayforward
it is good editorial by Jang yet now it is the duty of the media group to start at least 4 pages (one in each province) of Punjabi, Balochi, Pashto and Sindhi. it should be remembered that daily imroz was pioneer in this regard who had a punjabi page, Salute to Mian Iftiqarudin, Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Chiragh Hassan Hasrat. now read the editorial @
