PSP to oppose Punjabi in educational institutions
MULTAN, Aug 20: The Pakistan Seraiki Party has vowed to gear up its ongoing campaign to protest against the introduction of Punjabi language across the province in educational institutions.
Talking to newsmen here on Tuesday, PSP chief Taj Muhammad Langah reiterated his stand that the people of the Punjab mainly spoke two languages, Seraiki and Punjabi, and said that it would be sheer injustice to promote only one of them.
To protest against this injustice, he said the PSP had so far organized processions in Multan, Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghazi Khan besides holding a press conference in Islamabad to highlight the step-motherly treatment being meted out to Seraiki language.
He said now the Seraiki party was expanding its protest drive to all the Seraiki speaking districts in the province besides organizing an international Seraiki conference in the UK in the second week of the next month.
