Opinion - Letters to the Editor   

Mind your language

Sir, — Although the language in the political theatre has always been in turns blunt, indirect, and suggestive, it has never been as "abusive" as it is now. Yashwant Sinha's tirade against Dr. Singh and Lalu Prasad's language against Amar Singh and the BJP and its allies have exceeded all limits.

Manisha Mishra,
Cuttack, Orissa

Sir, — Mr. Sinha's derogatory reference to the Prime Minister and the refusal of the BJP to apologise show the party's bankruptcy in the department of political decency.

N. Sekar & G. Kirubakaran,
Katpadi, T.N.
