PM Unhappy Over 'Harsh Words' in Political Discourse


New Delhi, Aug 15 (IANS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Sunday expressed anguish over the use of "harsh and unpleasant words" in political discourse.

"The use of harsh and unpleasant words in our political discourse has increased in recent days. This is against our traditions of generosity, humility and tolerance," he said in his Independence Day address from the Red Fort.

"Criticism has a place of its own in a democracy and in a progressive society. However, criticism should not be undignified. We should have the capacity to reconcile opposite points of view on important issues through debate and discussion. I would request all political parties to consider this issue," he added.
