India’s democracy thrives on respectful dialogue, especially in Parliament and state assemblies. Elected leaders like Hon’ble MP Engineer Abdul Rashid and Hon’ble MLA Dooda show why parliamentary language matters. Their stories remind us that voters value dignity over divisive rhetoric.
Engineer Rashid won Baramulla’s Lok Sabha seat in 2024, defeating Omar Abdullah by over 2 lakh votes. His passionate style, amplified by his son’s campaign slogan, “Jail ka badla vote se,” connected with many. But in the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, his party struggled to win seats. His emotional February 2025 Lok Sabha speech, with lines like “Hamara khoon sasta nahin hai,” stirred hearts but lacked the restraint expected in Parliament. This limited his wider impact.
Similarly, while details on MLA Dooda are few, his “bazaar approach” suggests a bold but unrefined style. Like Rashid, voters likely rejected this in assembly elections, favoring leaders who stay calm and respectful.
Why does this matter? Parliamentary language keeps debates focused on ideas, not personal attacks. The Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling protects legislators’ free speech but urges them to uphold the House’s dignity. When leaders use harsh words, they risk dividing people and weakening trust in democracy.
Our MPs and MLAs are role models. Their words shape how we talk to each other. Voters, as seen in recent elections, prefer leaders who criticize with care, not chaos. Diplomatic language builds bridges, helping leaders work together for India’s progress.
Rashid and Dooda’s experiences teach us a lesson: passion is powerful, but respect wins hearts. In a diverse nation like ours, polite and thoughtful words in legislatures foster unity. Leaders who embrace this inspire trust and strengthen our democracy. Let’s encourage them to lead with grace, showing the way for a more united India.
