JAMMU, Sept 16: National Conference provincial vice president Gurdeep Singh Sasan today emphasized the need to include Punjabi language in the list of official languages of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement issued today, Sasan said Dr Farooq Abdullah has represented the right thinking view of the country and assailed the attempts of undermining Punjabi, a most loved and spoken language of millions across the world. He said the statement of the visionary leader Dr Abdullah evoked immense response by the parliamentarians.
He described non-inclusion of Punjabi as J&K’s official language a conspiracy that will be exposed at the right time. He hoped the people will unitedly fight for a rightful place to Punjabi as per their wishes and aspirations.
Sasan urged the administration to repeal the list of the official languages of J&K and issue a fresh notification which includes Punjabi as one of the official languages. This is the least the Government can do for assuaging hurt sentiments of millions, he added.
