We will lose our identity without our national language: SC

ISLAMABAD(National Times): Acting Chief Justice of Pakistan (ACJP) Umar Ata Bandial has remarked we will lose our identity without our mother and national language.

He gave these remarks while presiding over 3-member bench of SC during the hearing of contempt of court plea in the case of enforcement of national language Urdu.
