Karachi: A large section of the Sindh Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution that demanded Sindhi should be given the status of the national language.

While expressing their views on the resolution, the opposition and treasury lawmakers also demanded that the major languages spoken in the provinces of the country also be given status of national languages, reports Dawn News.

Pakistan Peoples Party’s Heer Soho had tabled the resolution in the Assembly.

Heer Soho said mother tongues should be made mandatory part of the curriculum and all languages spoken in the country should be declared as national languages.

She said that there was a bill pending in the National Assembly in this regard and it should be approved.

Muhammad Hussain of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan was quoted as saying by Dawn News that every person was proud of their mother tongue as children got their first lesson from it.

“Just as people want respect for their own language, so the language of others should also be respected,” he added.
