1972 Sindhi Language Bill was introduced by the Chief Minister Mumtaz Bhutto on July 3, 1972, in the Sindh Assembly, Pakistan.[1][2] The 1972 Language violence in Sindh occurred starting on July 7, 1972,[3] when the Sindh Assembly passed the Sind Teaching, Promotion and Use of Sindhi Language Bill, 1972[4] which established Sindhi language as the sole official language of the province resulting in language violence in Sindh. Due to the clashes, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto explained that this bill is not against Urdu language. Later an ordinance was also promulgated to clarify it. The original bill as passed by the Sindh Assembly on 7 July 1972 is still in place.[5][6]
