For the last few days, the speeches of Modi is sobre and slow, perhaps he read this forum and trying to change his style of expression.

It works both ways, it's a speech-war for our politicians. They will keep thrashing each other until the election game is over.

In a parliamentary democracy it is perfectly alright to launch criticism against one' s opponents and the tone and substance of speeches or any form of communication should not border on vulgarity that is exactly what is happening at the moment which does not augur well for our democracy.

No where in the constitution of India it is written that political parties should behave such and such way, constitution speaks abt. power to citizens and their rights and how to preserve and secure right and observe duties.

Of course there is a code of conduct to be maintained within the parliament and also by the ministers and MPS, dont they take an oath ? I am told that there is a phrase which pertains to maintaining the dignity of the post and carry out their duties towards their consituency ! But all this remains on paper only...

I don't know if any specific provisions are there in our Constitution. A brief reading of it would make it amply clear that there are phrases like ' immorality', 'decency' , 'opposed to public policy' and so on - may be in other contexts. Obviously our founding fathers never in their wildest thoughts deemed it necessary to lay down the code of conduct for school boys for our playful, fanciful leaders!!!

It is not feasible to define everything in precise words. That is why authorities are vested with discretionary powers. The Lok Sabha speaker has authority to decide what is undesirable behavior and language.

And the same goes for public servants (I did not say private services because it's mandatory for them) actually the habit of treating public shabbily came in our public servants as they saw it in former rulers.
