| Soz raises discrimination with Urdu in RS | | | early times report
Srinagar, Dec 14 (KNS): State Congress president and MP, Prof Saifuddin Soz today made a special attention about Urdu language in the Parliament.
“The promotion of Urdu needs attention at the highest level in Government of India,” Soz said in Rajya Sabha today.
He also said that on the basis of its (Urdu’s) contribution to the freedom struggle and promotion of Hindu-Muslim unity, it should since have been declared as second official language in the country after Hindi. “That has not unfortunately happened,” he added.
The Rajya Sabha MP also alleged that the language suffers discrimination in certain areas and the Human Resource Development Minister would be well advised to take notice of what is happening on ground.
“There are 1100 central schools in the country and not even in one of these schools Urdu is being taught as no teacher has been posted. So, Urdu teachers need to be appointed for these schools on the pattern that has been adopted by UP & Delhi,” he said.
“Urdu lovers in the country felt shocked recently to know that the Rs 100 crores that was earmarked for promotion of Urdu had been allowed to lapse last year as the CEO of Prasar Bharti did not take measures to organize programmes for promotion of Urdu,” Soz added.
