As a proud Sindhi who speaks the language within her household, I beg to differ. https://t.co/6XXWaUXRtv

Pasha’s remark has a lot of weight because he is a well-known member of the Sindhi community, and it is a crucial reminder of Pakistan’s linguistic variety.
Furthermore, Shah has come under fire for his ignorant remarks from Social Media users as well as Pasha. The criticism of Shah has drawn attention to the general dissatisfaction and rage felt by Pakistanis who are proud of their Sindhi identity and Language.
It's wrong sir, Please visit Sindh, you will see people who speak Sindhi. https://t.co/OqrrQQRS14

I think there is merit in the theory that beyond a certain age men should just withdraw from public life. If they insist on staying on, their family should make them do it. https://t.co/wtXiCQHw6w

Naseeruddin’s statement, whether deliberate or not, shows a lack of knowledge about Pakistan’s linguistic diversity.
Public leaders like Naseeruddin Shah must use prudence and do their homework before making pronouncements about subjects they may not be fully educated about. When uttered by powerful people, such assertions have the potential to spread erroneous information and erase linguistic variation.
