DECENCY IN POLITICS

In countries that have democracy, the members of the ruling party or in the opposition,  fail to maintain the norms and self-discipline. The lack of decency becomes a stain mark to the democracy. There is an urgent need for realization that the discussion in the Assembly assumes the shaping factor of the millions of

lives of the nation. It is not a cocktail party where one finds grooming talking. Bills and
 other debatable issues need discussion. But, the discussion should not take the shape of
arrogance. They should put their uncivil behavior aside. Foul language should be banned. For the members who violate the code of conduct, there should be a law to put the member out of the sessions atleast for a duration of time. The members should understand that they are the representatives of the people but not

the representatives of their passions, ego and prejudice. A politican being a ruler, is above

the common man, not in the sense that he is the Supreme Lord, but that he holds collective responsibility of a part of the society which he represents. As such, certain code of 

conduct is expected from him. Nevertheless, he should be a role model. If he is decent, difnified and has correlation between his word and action, only then people will take his words to heart. People will look upto him with great respect. He need not have to strive 

to attract the attention of the people. They themselves will be eager to know his actions. He will, perhaps, reserve his seat in the annals of history. 
     With the changing time and the contemporary demands, there is an urgent need for the politicians to shift the focus from silly criticisms and quarels to the needs of the people, that would enhance national prosperity.
