Im from Punjab before you say anything else.
You have a few non-Punjabis in power - WOW - most of these names mentionned do nothing for their own people.
If it was solely Balochistan accusing Punjab then I would be skeptical but then you have NWFP and sindh - both sindhis and muhajirs from sindh agree on punjabs domination.
I dot look into a leaders full etnic origins - Iwould accept a good Hindu leader over a bad Muslim one - btw i thought shortcuz aziz was from sialkot originally?
In waziristan it is Punjabi army soldiers that they naturally see as a Threat. Deobandis and Whabbis love Urdu and eevrything they learn is in urdu. You perfectly well know that the whole waziristan issue is not a language one - LOL - try find another more solid argument to back up what you say - btw im prettymuch sure that extremists in Waziristan who chop peoples heads off would be accustomed to speaking in urdu because of the multi-ethnic origins of the militants. Their maybe more pashtuns in them but their are plenty of arabs, uzbeks, punjabis, urdu speakers and others.
pashtuns dont have a problem with urdu speakers - they have a problem with the MQM. There are many pashtuns in karachi who have started using urdu more and they did it through their own will. urdu is used quite heavily in peshawar as some hindko speakers dislike speakign in pashtu because of the whole pakhtunkhwa renaming thing. Pashtun in quetta are thankful for urdu - they would hate to have to learn balochi. Theres nothing wrong with balochi but its not a language you can speak with a punjabi or a sindhi whilst urdu is.
You actually even cant be bothered to outline how the languages wil play roles within the life of pakistan. Thats why your argument is not a good one.
You cant even think of things like mother tongues should be taught in schools but keep crying on urdu being imposed lol

There beef was over the last decade was with a non-Punjabi moronic dictator And care to tell me how this was a Punjabi establishment over the last 10 years? Is Asif Ali Zardari a punjabi? Is Shortcut Aziz a Punjabi? I am not giving this argument a political touch, you are, only because you have nothing to back your theory of imposing Urdu on everyone.
Pashtuns arent fond of Urdu, and most of the ones up north have already succesfully defied the write of the Govt. Naturally, they arent fond of urdu speakers. These days, in places like Waziristan they hunt down Urdu speakers, and chop their heads off because they think they are Government officials and outsiders. If NWFP becomes a country of its own, guess what, Urdu wont be their 'national' language. Also, you brought your MQM into this discussion. MQM has nothing to do with Urdu, infact the degenerates can barely speak it properly. Have you heard General Musharraf (their spiritual leader) and Altaf speak Urdu?
Guess what, they speak their own language better! this is why 90% of the country speaks their own language, and its not Urdu 
As for the rest of strories, again my support for languages is not just limited to 3-4 languages. If we have more languages that a larger part of Pakistan speaks, then so be it, introduce them into the curriculam, develop them, and preserve/protect them.
