[ZESTCaste] Politicians should discourage touching feet

Politicians should discourage touching feet

MADHU AGRAWAL

Mon, Feb 22, 2010 10:45:42 IST

BHARATIYA JANATA Party president Nitin Gadkari deserves compliments
for asking party-followers to desist from feet-touching of
party-leaders. Otherwise political leaders usually desire that people
may touch their feet even though the leaders may be quite younger in
age of people touching their feet.

It is really shameful that even officers on duty also publicly touch
feet of political rulers. Union government should issue guidelines
so that at least government-employees on duty both at Centre and in
states may be prohibited to touch feet of political rulers.

However, ideal will be that political bosses cutting across
party-lines (including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati) may
issue directives on lines of BJP president Nitin Gadkari to ask
party-leaders to discourage people from so-termed 'manuvadi' tradition
of feet-touching.
