JAMMU, Sept 20: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) president Subhash Shastri today impressed upon the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister to include Punjabi and Gojari in the list of official languages of J&K.
“This decision will not only bring ease of governance, but also ease of citizen participation in governance in UT,” Shastri said while interacting with media persons here.
He said that now Dogri and Hindi can also be used as medium of language in the official documents/work in UT and many documents in the department could be understood easily by every citizen of UT knowing his own language.
NMC chief further said that inclusion of Dogri, Hindi etc as official languages is not only a fulfillment of a long pending demand, but also in keeping with the spirit of equality.
The NMC members in one voice also demanded inclusion of Punjabi and Gojari as official languages in UT. They hoped that the proposed bill would be getting approved in the current Parliament session with voice vote.
