Urdu language neglect .SOZ

GNS JAMMU ; State Congress chief and member Rajya Sabha, professor Saif-udin Soz Wednesday said that the Urdu language was facing neglect at government level and demanded that it should be declared second language after Hindi in India."The Promotion of Urdu language needs attention at the highest level in Government of India.This language is spoken and understood throughout India and it is a vibrant situation in UP, Bihar, Karnataka, Andhra, Jammu & Kashmir Maharashtra and Delhi," Soz told Rajya Sabha, according to a statement issued here.On the basis of its contribution to the freedom struggle and promotion of Hindu-Muslim Unity, the language should since have been declared as second official language in the country after Hindi, he said. "That has not unfortunately happened.""In the meantime this language suffers discrimination in certain areas and the Minister of HRD would be well advised to take notice of what is happening on ground."There are 1100 Central Schools in India and not even in one of these schools, he said, Urdu is being taught as no Urdu teacher has been posted. "So, Urdu teachers need to be appointed for these schools on the pattern that has been adopted by UP & Delhi.""Urdu lovers in the country felt shocked recently to know that the Sum of Rupees 100 crores that was earmarked for promotion of Urdu language had been allowed to lapse last year as the CEO of Prasar Bharti did not take measures to organize programmes for promotion of Urdu Language."It is unfortunate that the CEO did not implement the recommendations of the Commission it had itself appointed to organize programmes of Urdu language."The Commission had selected 123 programmes out of 840 programmes put up before it by the Prasar Bharti itself."Soz said that these are just a couple of instances to show the Administrations apathy towards promotion of Urdu language and literature."This apathy must stop as it runs counter to the UPA's avowed position to promote Urdu language & literature," he added.

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11, 1984, he knew that death awaited him in the phansi kothi a few yards away. A high voltage bulb burning outside the grated doors of his solitary cell in the death row was indicative of the outside darkness. If he had had any hopes of living awhile yet, they were dashed by the presence of the” prison doctors. Jail superintendent, A.B. Shukla/had paid Butt a visit in the middle of the previous night. Shukla chatted with him for a long time but cautiously avoided any talk about the execution. “I will see you on Monday”, Butt’s counsel on record, the sallow-complexioned R.C. Pathak, had told him during a brief interview they were allowed on the evening of February 10. In answer, the condemned Kashmir Liberation Front leader, who was awarded the death sentence of the murder of a CID officer in 1966, had meaningfully remarked: “Do you think they will permit us a second meeting?” He was right! Butt was n...
