VIDEO | Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir: Addressing a press conference, PDP leader Iltija Mufti says, “I want to ask (CM) Omar Abdullah why such an order was issued on 9 July 2015, when he was the Revenue Minister, stating that digitisation would be carried out only in English. Urdu was removed, and we all know that after that, we received many complaints, from tehsildars and patwaris—about increasing discrepancies. A Haryana model was implemented here, and English was imposed on the revenue department despite the fact that all our documents are in Urdu... In April 2026, under Omar Abdullah’s government, since the revenue department comes under him, another order was issued. I will share a copy of it. A notification dated 14 April 2026 was released, under which SRO 74 Revenue Recruitment Service Rules were amended. What changes were made? If you are a resident of Jammu and Kashmir and are applying for a patwari or tehsildar post, you now only need to be a graduate…”

Who loves Urdu Language in Jammu and Kashmir? Those delivering sermons should share a video in pure Urdu Language and if possible, in the language used for writing revenue records. And for those youngsters who believe, these Netas are worried about their future, ask them what they did for age relaxation, PSI recruitment, Constable Recruitment, Forester Recruitment, so on and so forth. Where is fast track recruitment?

BJP in Armoor, Nizamabad, Telangana took out a protest rally today morning! They held a total Bandh in Armoor today. Not against the theft of funds and jewellery from Ayodhya Ram Mandir but for : teaching Urdu at a few schools in Telangana! How did they get permission to take out a rally on the main streets, in a state where the police love policing even our thoughts? Fact: Urdu is the second official language of Telangana as per the Official Languages Act. Not just Telangana, Urdu is the second official language in Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal. Additionally, Urdu is the official language of Jammu & Kashmir. And a beautiful language too. Urdu is the language of poetry ❤️ Also Fact: Many private schools in Telangana today teach Spanish, French, German, even Mandarin (Chinese). But, the desperation of BJP coupled by inaction of Telangana Congress Government, is leading to Urdu becoming a communal issue. High time this gets corrected.

Urdu and Hindi are both of Indian (🇮🇳) origin. The former is central of the Indian Muslim ethnic identity. Major native Pakistani tongues include Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Brahui, Hindko. The Sikh and Hindus Rajput rulers were the first people to impose Urdu (till some degree) upon them region. “Ranjeet Singh introduced Urdu as the medium of administration in various parts of the kingdom. The Dogra ruler Ranbir Singh introduced Urdu in his state.” #Reference: People of India: Jammu & Kashmir; by K.S. Singh, page - xxviii; 1992. However, the Sikh and British imposition of Urdu had negligible effect on the masses. It was after 1947, when a small group of Indian Muslim bureaucratic immigrants to Pakistan paved way for the popular imposition of Urdu at the cost of the destruction and respect of native tongues. For example, Niyaz Fatehpuri, one such immigrant, also a poet wrote: “The second important change that must come to pass is that the Muslim Punjabis instead of their own language, Punjabi, must be made to start speaking Urdu. Their children also should immediately be taught to speak Urdu in their infancy, so that, eventually, within a short period, it will have become the norm, and the coming generations of Muslim Punjabis will only speak Urdu.” Urdu is the short of the epithet (Zaban-e URDU-e Mualla) of the Hindustani tongue. As the name suggests, this tongue is ethnically linked to Hindustani (Gangetic Indian, and her sister Deccani Indian) Muslim identity. There are around 5 million Indian Muslim students who study in proper Urdu-medium schools. These students, as they are orignal native speakers, speak the most authentic form of Urdu, their accent is the standard Urdu accent free of impurities. Additionally, Urdu is the mother tongue of some 91.06 million Indian Muslims. 👉 However, it is also worth noting that being Indian does not mean it belongs to Hindus. No! It is an exclusive Indian Muslim language, and this was so well known that even European travellers of the 18th century would explicitly refer to Hindustani (=Urdu) as the language of Indian Muslims. Also, overwhelming Hindu majority has historically (and till today) vilified, and harmed Urdu. Today, only Indian Muslims and their religious institutions preserve it in its authentic form. Urdu is to Indian Muslims what Hebrew is to the Jews. Anybody can speak Urdu, adopt it as their national language, or sing and cherish poetries, but till Qayamat, it will remain central to the ethnic identity of the Indian Muslims, Insha Allah.

It is a process that needs to be taken to its conclusion, and it needs to be done now.

#WATCH | Bradford, UK | Mahmood Kashmiri, Chairman of Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA), UK says, "...Pakistan has deployed thousands of its forces into the Pakistan-administered areas of Jammu and Kashmir, and these forces have begun a massacre there... A large number of people and significant quantities of weaponry have entered the Pakistan-administered region of Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan in private vehicles. They intend to carry out a massacre and pin the blame on the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee. We fear the situation is about to deteriorate drastically for our Kashmiri youth...We want Pakistan to withdraw its forces from our region immediately, as the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve to live in peace. If Pakistan believes it can subjugate Kashmiris through force and coercion, it is mistaken; even if Pakistan sends all its forces into Kashmir, it will still fail to subjugate the people of Jammu and Kashmir..."

🍁🇵🇰/🇮🇳 — Naveed Jutt Shaheed, a Pakistani Punjabi who did not even know Urdu, and yet fought for six years in the blessed valley against the Indian Occupation. When he was imprisoned for the first time, he learned Urdu from his fellow inmates in jail so that he could communicate with the Kashmiri people. When a commander of Lashkar was martyred, Naveed Jatt reached the public, tearing through the storm. These heartwarming scenes would compel any Pakistani to sacrifice everything for the valley of Kashmir. InshaAllah, the bubble of the Indian Occupation shall break once again.

Assam CM banned madrasas. A nationwide policy is needed to ban all madrassas. Urdu is not our language but the Karnataka activist groups were silent when invitations were sent in Urdu language.
