The proposal to restore the status of Arabic and Persian into Civil Services Examinations got passed unanimously at the end of International Conference organised by National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL) in the national capital on 6 September. The Muslim community has been voicing concern over the omission of the two languages along with other foreign languages from the list of optional subjects for the main examination of Indian Civil Services. Also the Association for Arabic Teachers and Scholars and All India Persian Scholars Association have recently organised a joint-conference on the issue in the national capital. The NCPUL also vowed to open an Urdu medium school in Uttar Pradesh in order to fight against the ban. The council said it was totally illogical as the Article 350A of Indian Constitution allows every citizen to get primary education in his/her own language.
