Great decision. All provinces teach their mother tongue, then why not Punjab is teaching its mother tongue in schools.
Long overdue. At last. Full marks to her and the provincial gov’t.
پنجاب میں صرف پنجابی نہیں رہتے. 30% سرائیکی بھی رہتے ہیں. پنجاب نے پہلے ہی ناروا سلوک رکھا ہوا ہے مزید اجازت نہیں ہونی چاہیے.
@Guest Seraiki is a dielect of Punjabi. Punjabi has many dialects. Also remember that all Punjabi tribes are same. A Jutt or Malik of South Punjab is same like a Jutt or Malik of Northern Punjab. There is no such thing as Seraiki tribes.
