Indian Muslims: I further urge Pakistani Christians to write their language too as Urdu in order to show solidarity with other Pakistanis." On the same page, a commentator responded to the above posting, "The idea of a census to gather facts, according to Huffington Post Canada. Encouraging people to write something that is not true defeats the purpose of the census. Another example of such an opinion is on Facebook, where a Pakistani Canadian wrote, "I request all Pakistani and Indian Muslims should write Urdu as their mother tongue so that government can count total number of Pakistani and Indian Muslims living in Canada. If your mother tongue is not Urdu then please do not write Urdu. Urdu is neither a major language of Pakistani Muslims nor Indian Muslims. To do so is not helpful." Another very active Pakistani Canadian wrote on Facebook, "Please put your language as Urdu,Other words like "Punjabi" are very much deceiving for you, It benefit others but not you" One can clearly find bigotry, betrayal and false facts imposition in above statements.
