Disheartening comments of leaders of present erain Assam politics

Sir, - After the debacle of the congress party in the last Lok

Sabha elections in India the behavior of some of the congressMLAs of Assam is not at all expected by the general public.Some of the remarks of the M might have causedembarrassment to many of them and dissatisfaction amongthe electorates of Assam but in such critical !uncture thecolleagues of the hief Minister should have !umped into theelection areas defending their leader even by going to thepublic tendering apology on behalf of the hief Minister andadvising the hief Minister to do the same. "ut #e have notseen such team spirit in the ongress party. Instead some of 

the disgruntled $rst timer legislative members #ent to theextent of attacking some of the senior leader like Sri An!an%utta for his educational &uali$cations #hich appears to beunpalatable for many of us. Such young MLAs should havebehaved the in a respectable #ay to these senior leaders.'ducational &uali$cation is but a small part in the life of apolitical leader. It is his #isdom, kno#ledge and public behavior#hich is more important. (he history of almost all politicalparties sho# that more importance is given to his dedication,experience, kno#ledge and ability to guide the public than

school or )niversity &uali$cation. Late * *amra! +adar, yaniail Singh and many national and state leaders had very littleschool but they could guide the party as #ell the nation. Merepaper &uali$cation #hich fails to streamline our behavior,character, enhance our kno#ledge is no &uali$cation. eshould remember kno#ledge is not encompassed only in thebooks or encompassed in a degree but in the #hole universe.Mahapurush Shankardeva had no schooling but he #as #isehaving vast kno#ledge. (herefore college education is not athing to be boast of.
