NEW DELHI :

The National President of Urdu Development Organisation (UDO), Dr. Syed Ahmed Khan, has welcomed the Supreme Court’s April 15, 2025, decision in favour of Urdu regarding the Maharashtra Municipal Council, calling it historic, encouraging, and promising for the Urdu-speaking public.

It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court, while ruling on the signboard of the Municipal Council Building (Akola), stated that names can be written in Urdu along with Marathi on the signboards. The Supreme Court also clarified that language is not associated with any particular religion, but rather with the people, the community, and the region.

UDO’s National General Secretary Dr. Parwaz Uloom and Dr. Lal Bahadur jointly stated that the Supreme Court’s earlier decision on September 4, 2014, in favour of UDO against the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, was also historic. However, unfortunately, due to the negligence of the Urdu-speaking public, the governments of the seven states – including Delhi and Uttar Pradesh – where Urdu has the status of a second official language, have neither implemented this status nor initiated any movement in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Now, it is the responsibility of the Urdu-speaking community to benefit from such historic decisions.

Veteran journalist and writer Jalaluddin Aslam was honored at Ghalib Academy with the release of his selected anthology of essays, Naqd-o-Nazar. The event brought together distinguished scholars, journalists, and literary figures, who acknowledged Aslam’s lifelong dedication to writing and journalism.

Padma Shri awardee Professor Akhtarul Wasey, delivering the presidential address, praised Jalaluddin Aslam’s remarkable contribution to literature and journalism. “He has devoted his entire life to the service of pen and paper. Even in his advanced years, his commitment to writing remains unshaken,” he remarked. Prof. Wasey further emphasized that Naqd-o-Nazar reflects Aslam’s deep thoughts and ideological perspectives and should reach a wider readership.
