TC Bureau Chandigarh: Congress spokesperson Rana Baljit Singh Chahal flayed the Centre over the exclusion of Punjabi language from the Jammu and Kashmir Official Languages Bill, terming it as an attack on the federal structure of the country.
The Union Cabinet has approved a bill, under which Kashmiri, Dogri and Hindi, apart from the existing Urdu and English, will be the official languages in the union territory.
Central Government’s exclusion of Punjabi from official languages bill in Jammu and Kashmir is tantamount to stabbing mother tongue said Rana Baljit Singh Chahal
Expressing his view in a press statement today, Punjab Pradesh Congress spokesperson Rana Baljit Singh Chahal said that despite being the Union Minister of Shiromani Akali Dal claiming to be the leading party of Sikhs at the Center, the passage of this ‘black bill’ happened.
