Urdu has the potential to become an International language for communication like English, National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL) director Aquil Ahmad said here on Tuesday.
In the United Arab Emirates, where earlier court proceedings were used to be done in Arabic only, advocates are now allowed to plead cases in Urdu also, he said.
According to a release from the city-basedMaulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), Ahmad was speaking during the inauguration of atraining programme for teachers of Madrassas.
Speaking to participants of the programme, Ahmad advised them to become ambassadors of Urdu as this language is our culture too."
