Will Language Commission Woks?
Language issue and use of mother tongues are among the controversial issues yet we hope this time politicians will resolve it amicably too. After CoD of 2006 signed by two heads of popular parties Pakistan is gradually moving towards a sustainable democracy. Although some supper intellectuals and media giants are trying to defame the process yet if we map last 8 years, Pakistan's gradual movement toward strengthening of democracy is unprecedented.
Charter of Democracy May 2006
Lawyer Movement March 2007
Return of Popular leadership late 2007
Elections & shifting of power balance towards elected tier 2008
Removal of General Musharaf after fear of impeachment August 2008
Return of Chief Justice 2009
Singing of NFC award 2010
18th amendment 2010
Senate election 2012
General election & first democratic transition 2013
Moving towards sustainable democracy is there not only in federal level but also in provincial level too. Provinces are rule by popular parties too and hopefully this year politicians will complete local government elections too.
In this scenario we hope politicians will resolve the controversial issue of languages too.
Major questions are
- Status of English as language of POWER?
- Status of Urdu as Sole National language?
- Acceptance of diversity and Role of Pakistani mother tongues?
- Unlike Marshalla governments, bridging gapes among mother tongues by developing consensus
