Signature Campaign :Demands Restoration of Punjabi Among Official Languages in J&K

Sikh organisations in Jammu have launched a Signature Campaign to press for the inclusion of Punjabi in the list of official languages in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Union Cabinet on September 2 approved a bill under which Kashmiri, Dogri and Hindi, apart from the existing Urdu and English, will be the official languages in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. 

Besides Sikhs, Gojri and Pahari-speaking people have also expressed their resentment over the exclusion of their languages and are also demanding official status to both the languages.
