جن کے متعصب اقدامات کے باعث “اردو کا جنازہ ہے بڑی دھوم سے نکلے” کہا گیا ان کی جانب سے سندھ یونیورسٹی میں قومی زبان اردو پر ہی پابندی کا حکم سندھ کی لسانی اکائیوں میں تفریق، تنازعات کو بڑھاوا دینے کا مذموم عمل ہے۔ اسے واپس لیا جائے۔ لوگوں کو قریب لائیں، منفیت کی جانب نہ دھکیلیں pic.twitter.com/3dfka90zcn
