English is taught a a foreign language in all countries, it is never a medium of instruction. In school we had to study french as a foreign language; no other subject was in french. No body is asking you to 'drop' english, just give it the same status as in the rest of the world.
English as a language of instruction is not needed to be a success in today's world; Taiwanese. Korean, Turkish and Japanese companies have flourished without it.
In Pakistan you totally exaggerate the importance of English, almost all countries in the world run their countries entirely in their own language.
Pakistanis seem to find any excuse they can to surrender their language and replace it with english.
Actually no, English in most countries isn't taught as a foreign language; for example, in Japan it's considered mandatory in most schools. As for French, we're taught that in Canada, but it's considered domestic language, even though french is only spoken in Quebec. French is also considered a government langauge too, and you can't get a political office seat unless you speak both English and French.
English as a language of instruction is needed to be a success; Taiwanese, Korean, Turkish and Japanese are barely spoken outside of their respective nations, and companies that go international generally have to learn English, because it's the most widely spoken and common language in the world.
I'm not exaggerating the importance of English in Pakistan, as all government institutes are run in English. The official language of the government is English, most road signs also come in English. Most government run Pakistani government run schools teach English as a mandatory subject, I know, because I was taught in them.
Speaking English isn't surrendering your own language, your sense of logic is flawed. I speak English, French, Urdu, Punjabi and I started to learn Japanese before giving up, I can tell you right now that I didn't have to give up speaking one language to learn another. The fact that you're typing in English on this forum, and you having the ability to speak your own native language should prove that much.
