Sir: Unfortunately, our political leaders are increasingly adopting intolerant and uncivilised behaviour. In a recent live TV show, PTI’ s Naeemul Haque lost his temper and slapped PML-N’ s Daniyal Aziz. At first, both leaders exchanged hot words. Eventually the situation escalated into a physical altercation. The show’s host tried his best to moderate the situation butfailed miserably. Ironically, these kinds of acts by so-called politicians are becoming a trend in our society. If such kind of unfortunate incidents continue,the tattered image of Pakistani leaders will be damaged further. It is my humble request to our politicians to restrain themselves from politics of violence and hate. Asad Khuhawar Karachi Published in Daily Times, May 26th 2018.
