THIS refers to the use of foul language by political representatives of various parties during public meetings, press conferences, sit-ins and at various public forums.

The use of vulgar language is a routine. Political parties have a right to speak critically against the ruling party but with logic and by remaining within the norms of decency.

The opposition should present solutions to the problems for formulating better policies so that the government may be pressured to accept the suggestions for the welfare of people.

There should be no personal attacks, and the politicians must refrain from demonising each other because they are the people’s representatives.

I urge all political parties to follow a code of conduct in national and provincial assemblies and at all public forums.
