Stop Abusing India Abroad
The Opposition in India MUST realise that to save the Constitution and to strengthen Democracy (about which they made much during the 2024 Parliamentary Election) they should make Parliament the battle-ground where the weapons are speeches, barbed words and insults should flow back and forth across the Parliamentary floor. They should not make Jantar-Mantar or Highways as the battle-ground to fight the Government.
Of late, specially, since the advent of Rahul Gandhi into active politics over two decades ago, we have been hearing about our VIP political leaders, across different parties, attacking their political opponents and the country itself, may be in their anxiety to attack our Prime Minister, when visiting abroad. This should be unacceptable to any self-respecting Indian. A case of cutting the nose to spite the face.
This kind of self-flagellation by the intolerant, impatient politicians of our country does more harm to our country’s honour and interest than to their adversaries back home. Why do these Opposition politicians, some with a skewed idea of country’s history, go abroad and put their foot in the mouth and become a laughing stock? Common sense should tell them that criticising their country and their political opponents in an acerbic manner in foreign countries would not help them in either besmirching the image of their domestic political adversaries, even enemies, or in toppling the government.
No way, no matter which party is in power. We have seen this happen in some countries where such rabid politicians on return to their country being arrested and incarcerated. Some are hiding in other countries as exiles.
