President Asif Ali Zardari, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a joint media session in Islamabad the other day. Asif Ali Zardari was speaking in English language during the briefing whereas Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke in Persian, the official language of Iran. This shows how easy it would have been for the people living in Iran to understand their president’s conversation.
Asif Ali Zardari spoke in English which is only a few in Pakistan can understand. It would have been good if the president of Pakistan had used Urdu language which is understood by almost all the people in the country. Our government officials must also follow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s simple way of living.
