Sir: There is no denying the fact that mother tongue plays a key role in the progress of any nation, but regrettably, Balochi, despite being the native language of Balochistan province, has been brushed aside for a long period of time. As a result, thousands of students are not able enough to read and write Balochi properly as it is the sign of provincial education minister’s serious negligence. There is a pressing need of wide implementation in this regard to make the Balochi as a professional subject at educational institutions of the province. SARFARAZ SHAH Turbat
