SAS Nagar, November 8 - President of Punjabi Virsa Cultural Forum and former councilor of Municipal Corporation Mr. Satveer Singh Dhanoa has said that discrimination against Punjabi language by schools and other institutions running in Punjab is unfortunate. In a statement issued here, he said that there are many private schools in Punjab which use the land and other resources of Punjab, but continue to devise schemes to corner the mother tongue of this region.

He said that it has been made public by intellectuals of the world including the central government that the mental development of a child flourishes more in their mother tongue, but still ill-minded schools keep conspiring to keep Punjabi children away from their mother tongue. .

He said that the government should investigate such anti-Punjabi schools and impose fines. If anti-Punjabi activities still continue, they should be shown the way out under the Language Act. Because Punjabi people have become aware now. People will not tolerate insulting mother tongue anymore. They demanded immediate release of Punjabi lovers who were arrested during a peaceful protest in a school in Rampura Phool.
