Personal attacks and exchange of barbs were observed during the budget debate in parliament. While a healthy debate on the budget on the basis of logic and reason is necessary to achieve the interests of the nation, the exchange of personal insults is not. Our politicians often resort to personal attacks in response to well-reasoned arguments.
This not only undermines the debate itself but also sets a poor example for the people. Politicians should attack the logic or veracity of their opponent’s argument and not the opponent him/herself. If they promote such behaviour, who are expected to set an example for the rest of us.
