Politicians suffering from foot-in mouth disease

IT SEEMS that Indian politicians are suffering from foot-in-mouth disease. They need to realize that using abusive remarks are embarrassing not only to their party, also government and countryman. Our political class has never had it so awful; they have made it worse for themselves. Surprisingly, their respective parties are giving exemption to them while these hasty comments are now being subjected to public question.

There comments reflect their mindset. It is all due to the deterioration of political principles in this country. How can they expect people to respect them when they are making irresponsible and immature comments? It is the media, which is exposing their wrongdoings. There are three things to aim at in public speaking: first, to get into your subject, then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into the heart of your audience.

It is unfortunate that a senior BJP leader courted a major controversy by making abusive remarks against Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and RJD Lalu Prasad in a public meeting without any second thoughts and in the very next moment he decided to take his words back.

This is not a single instance, even during the parliament session our so called representatives of people are using unparliamentary language and later refuting the same when confronted by party and the media ? Or this is only way to abuse opposition leaders?

In my views, politician who indulges in irresponsible remarks should be punished. Before entering the parliament, our politician must attend ‘One Week Workshop for Effective Public Speaking’. It may be boring for them or they may find strange here politicians subjecting to the week long of Public Speaking training but Politicians in west always went through this kind of programme.
