Now coming back to this thread:There are 70 different languages, Apart from urdu, Many other languages are spoken in Pakistan, including Punjabi, Siraiki, Sindhi, Pashtu, Balochi, Hindko, Brahui, Burushaski, Balti, Khawar, Gujrati and other languages with smaller numbers of speakers.

Just by looking at the above statistics, (excluding the facts that Pushtuns are divided by fake and obsolete durand line which has divided the Pashto language or else it's the biggest language spoken across the two countries: but I won't raise this point as we are 2 different countries, Thanks to English Masters and their Slaves in then India) its evident that urdu is the 4th biggest language spoken in Pakistan. This language was chosen as it was the only language which could have been used as the Language-Gel among all of pakistanis.
Despite the failure of our readers to differentiate between "racist" remarks and freedom of speech, I still think that urdu should remain the national language of Pakistan and the other language should also be encouraged and in media they should get equal time.
For people who want to know the racist remarks should hear Altaf Hussian's initial speeches, where he spit his venom against Punjabi's and Pushtuns.. That I consider racist remarks just like any one who use ethnicity as the excuse for eliminating their rivals.
Bilour remarks is a mere view of a nationalist who does see the misery of other ethnic groups of pakistan like Pushtuns, baluchs and Punjabis. Unfortunately the 7.57 % speakers get to say anything but if it comes from some other group, they are called racists.. What a joke! Just like the existence of MQM.
