Govt wants SRK, Salman and Katrina to promote Urdu language; Twitterati is not impressed

India is the world’s largest democracy and the general elections will begin pretty soon. The dates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls have been announced. The voting will take place in seven phases starting from April 11. The results will be declared on May 23. Now, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and other Bollywood celebs will be roped in by the ruling government i.e. BJP to promote the Urdu language. The current govt is headed by BJP’s Narendra Modi.

As reported by The Print, the National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL) that comes under the Ministry of Human Resource Development wants to play a bigger role in promoting the Urdu language.

The online portal further reports that the NCPUL is facing tough competition from the private Urdu organisations like Rekhta and many others. Hence, to up their game, they will be approaching celebs like SRK, Salman, Kat and others to talk in Urdu in their video and promote the language.

Twitterati, as usual, had their opinion and were not impressed.

Before asking katrina to promote urdu please make sure she can speak hindi properly

Both Salman and Katrina cannot write/speak Urdu properly. Kya hogaya Govt ko?

— Suhail M?? (@suhailmaddie) March 17, 2019

Srk can write/read Urdu and has a grasp on the language. Salman despite being a son of an urdu writer lacks the expertise

— Suhail M?? (@suhailmaddie) March 17, 2019

None of them can properly pronounce Urdu words SRK might be better than the other two.

Sallu and Katrina??? Well….looks like this move is to ensure urdu dies an accidental death.

— Mohammad Meraj (@Anti_31Percent) March 17, 2019

Katrina can give a good demo of how not to speak Urdu

— Yazad Umrigar (@Yazad_Umrigar) March 17, 2019

Seriously?? SRK phir bhi theek hai but Katrina and Sallu!
