It is really unfortunate that political personalities take undue liberties while speaking in public and at times go beyond the prescribed limits of sensible dialogue thus creating distasteful situations. The alleged statement by the National Conference President and former Chief Minister of erstwhile J&K State, Dr Farooq Abdullah insulting the Tricolour is in news with ruling party BJP making lots of hullabaloo against the Kashmiri leader. There is always a thin line between saying a sensible thing and going for an irresponsible response which this time Dr Farooq has crossed as he has taken things lightly. The politicians should know well that what their limit is and upto what extent they can go because such instances do much harm to the society especially when the turf is J&K where already the government is combating terrorism, separatism and alienation since the last few decades. One can guess well that the seasoned and mature politician like Dr Farooq Abdullah cannot make such a mistake during the public speech and therefore the chance of same being a calculative move cannot be ruled out. If the same is true then it is not in good taste because insulting Tricolour is unacceptable to every Indian and also the concerned quarters should go for a legal review to adjudge whether by making an irresponsible statement, the NC patron has broken any law of the land or not? The public representatives should take good care of their language as they cannot afford to indulge in loose talk because every word which they utter means a lot to the masses of the UT and even the country also. The allegation against Dr Farooq is serious and he should mind his stride in future also because it is uncalled for to take undue liberties while going public. The politicians have much responsibility on their shoulders because their calls often decide the future course of society and if they will start acting irresponsibly there will be bedlam and things will go haywire which should not be the case. J&K being the sensitive region, its leadership cannot afford to take such liberties therefore leaders like Dr Abdullah should mind their uttering as such behaviour is not expected from the public representative of his stature.
