MPAs lament neglect of mother tongue

Members of Parliament from various regions have expressed concern over the systemic neglect of the Punjabi language in legislative proceedings, highlighting that Urdu and English dominate official communications despite Punjabi being a mother tongue for many citizens. This linguistic bias not only undermines cultural representation but also risks alienating speakers of Punjabi, who feel sidelined in their own country. The outcry underscores a broader issue of language discrimination in governance, which could have long-term implications for national unity and inclusivity.
