Thrissur ∙ Public servants and politicians should be careful when using words, opposition leader V.D. Satheesan. Obsolete words should also be avoided as time has changed. MM Mani’s apology was raised by the opposition whether the Communist Party believes that widowhood is a woman’s destiny. At the Manorama News Conclave, Satheesan stated that what is needed in democracy is not merciless attacks but beautiful debates.
Public servants should avoid misogynistic remarks and politically incorrect clichés. None of us is above criticism. Use good words. Such problems rarely arise in the legislature. A very serious discussion should take place in the assembly. Thomas Isaac and I had serious discussions. Talking maintaining mutual respect without any bad remarks.
Every day we not only criticize the government. Many other topics are also discussed. That is not news. The media is also not above criticism. The media works based on the public consciousness of the Malayalees. There are many people today who try to be in the news the next day by telling third-rate jokes.
This is the post-truth era. The debate is whether to build a temple in Ayodhya, install a Shiva lingam in Gyanvapi and wear hijab. No relevant topics are discussed. We agree with the good ideas of the central and Kerala governments. There should be criticism where it is due. The opinion should be shared using good and beautiful words.- Satheesan clarified.
