I think this is a redundant divisive idea. There needs to be a common Pakistani culture before there is such directed focussed attempts to promote regional cultures. This is just another step in the obvious divide and rule tactics of the present government. MNA Faryal Talpur, sister of the so called President, is obviously not going to be running a pro-Pakistan agenda.

  bilkul sahi baat ki.

Fit hai, but schools should have the OPTION to choose this depending on the diversity and cultures of their students. Not something the government bodies should enforce.

@muhammad bin naveed: Sindh,Punjab,KP,Balochistan ka apna apna khobsurat culture he..aur yehi mil kar Pakistan ka culture banta he..kya masla hogaya ek ajrak se janab..kya admi is se 'separatist' ho jayga..reality is this ke Pakistan ke provinces apni shanakht Pakistan se buhat pehly se rakhty hain..

Does any one of you guys know that at the birth of Pakistan, Jinnah's "Karardade Pakistan" was passed with votes approved by 4 states, to join in. Sindh was the first state to vote in favor of the formation of "United States of Pakistan". So if they want to do something to approve their culture, why call it a stupid step.
