Punjab Higher Education and Languages Minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa has expressed concern to total omission of Punjabi language from the inauguration plaque of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor at Dera Baba Nanak. He said Punjabi should have been at the top.He said it was highly unfortunate that the inscription on inauguration board was in Hindi followed by English while Punjabi which is official language of Punjab had been ignored that amounted to blatant injustice with the state.This integrated check post that is gateway to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan was inaugurated by Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi on Saturday.Mr Bajwa said that not only the Kartarpur Sahib ICP inauguration plaque, but the boards of all central projects should have Punjabi at the top.He asserted that Punjabi was not only one of the 17 recognised as national languages under the constitution but was also the state language of Punjab. He made it clear that this discrimination with Punjabi language by the centre and that too in Punjab would not be tolerated.He said the state government was studying the languages acts of other states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala on the implementation of language so far the language on the sign boards at every level is concerned. He said the writing of signboards with Punjabi on the top would be made compulsory on the pattern of these states.At the same time, he made it clear that Punjab was not opposed to Hindi but the issue was the national language could not be imposed on the state at the cost of Punjabi which is official state language.
