Mian Muhammad Shabaz Sharif, Chief Minister, Punjab, roared and slammed in a mammoth gathering at Lahore the other day. Like many others, I had the opportunity to watch the live television coverage of Mian Shahbaz Sharif. Word play, below-the-belt jokes, sloganeering, lots of president-and-confidante-bashing – that’s what the speech was all about.
I was utterly disappointed at his tone, tempo and derogatory utterances against the incumbent president. This contemptuous tone and use of derogatory remarks has led to a huge anger among the workers, sympathisers of Pakistan Peoples Party and the disciples of political science and law in the country and abroad.
Nobody should use uncivilised language in any walk of life. It is an open secret that the present government has not come to the expectations of the people. There are hundred and one ways to expose the evil doers and explicate the situation. It is not advisable to use foul language in such a public crowd.
The politicians are requested not to use indecent and irresponsible language. Instead they should use their potential and pelf in the nation building and addressing the grave challenges such as population explosion, food security, urbanisation, criminalisation, terrorism, illegal influx of immigrants, etc.
