Even a letter from Jamil Ahmed Khan – a lawmaker from Malir affiliated with the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) – also surfaced on social media in which he raised concerns with the Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin Ul Haque over the removal of the Sindh language from the PTCL System.

The lawmaker noted that the deletion of the Sindhi language has “caused great unrest among the public as it the language of Sindh Dharti and a huge population is Sindhi Speaking”, and urged its restoration.

In an official statement, the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has clarified that the Sindhi language was never introduced on its Contact Center, brushing aside false propaganda on social media that the language has been deleted from the PTCL Helpline. The PTCL said that the language was under development and due to the COVID-19 situation, it will be rolled out as we resume normal operations.

“As a national company, we own and respect all languages and strive to provide the best services to our customers,” it said.
