Urdu’s importance

Letter December 04, 2014
All of us try to speak English fluently but we should not forget that Urdu is our pride and our national language

KARACHI: Urdu is our national language but it seems as if English has replaced its importance. All of us try to speak English fluently but we should not forget that Urdu is our pride and our national language.

The Constitution of Pakistan has recognised the status of Urdu but our government officials are doing little to uplift the status of this language and to promote arts and literature in Urdu.
