Mind the language
This refers to the report ‘Modi may get me killed’ (July 28). Expressing the fear of death done by a strong- can be pardoned by expanding the meaning of ‘freedom of expression’. But it is a different story when a responsible CM alleges that the PM may get him killed and try to spread fear down the line.
While several politicians with criminal backgrounds have entered the legislature, no such thing has been attributed to Narendra Modi. It is shocking to see Kejriwal mimicking the language used by ground level political ‘leaders’. Looks like the time is ripe for political parties to come to a consensus on the language used to ‘attack’ opponents.
