Politics of personal attacks

Kashmir Times. Dated: 12/12/2017 1:34:15 PM

Dear Editor,
It is shocking that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was called a "neech aadmi “by Mani Shankar Aiyar. The Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi asked Mr. Aiyar to apologies to the Prime Minister. My Aiyar apologized too. Rightly he is suspended from Congress. But question is how low our politicians have gone down. In March 2017 also political scene was the worse –dirtiest thing as personal attack were made in public by politician. There is no improvement on this low attitude. Politicians just do not have anything worth allegations / policy matter of political parties to make a comment / condemn! Such silly remarks lead to the controversy to the extent, never expected. In public ‘Sabhya bhasha ka istamall zaroori hai.’
Strangely the media particularly TV starts a debate on worthless remark /opinions of these low politician wasting their and public time, both. Being a political person, one must think much before speaking anything in press! There is no second opinion that personal attacks must be avoided. It is sad that in this “Kalyug” people at large including politician love power and money more than personal relations and have lost value system.
The present political scenario of personal attacks proves that there is no personal life and respect and politics has fallen to lowest ebbs –standards.
Some principles must be followed by everyone. Unless and until low character people will be seen -Criminal background candidates such cheapness hall continues.
