STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, APRIL 28 (STC): National Conference (NC)-led government in Jammu and Kashmir is “attacking region’s identity” by removing Urdu from the mandatory requirements for the Tehsildar examination.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti stated this today. Speaking to media, she said, “People have not given you so many votes so that you can attack our language. You are attacking our identity, our language.”
Demanding an immediate rollback of the government order, Iltija said, “Do you know that the NC government has recently issued an order under which they are taking out Urdu from the requirements of the Tehsildar exam?”
The decision amounts to an attempt to “erase” Urdu from the region’s administrative landscape, she said.
