Polity and decency

It is saddening to see the moral denigration of the politicians in the country with elections knocking on our doors. The last remnants of decency and decorum have been dissolved on the banks of the Ganga. Be it Varun Gandhi's "hate speech", Lalu's " I will kill him under a roller" threat, Rabri Devi's derogatory comments on Nitish Kumar, Rahul Gandhi calling Advani a "liar" , not to mention all the "below the belt" comments flying around in Tamil Nadu ... all have gone to show that we have lost our sense of public decency and probity. So much so for a nation which prides itself on "culture", "values", "respect for elders" etc.... shame on us! Dilip
