It is not a matter whether they are in government or in opposition, Politicians need to criticize opponent party, leaders of the opponent party. So criticizing opponent effectively is an essential skill for politicians. On the other hand, it is a quality of politicians. Because the way someone criticize his/her opponent also reveals his/her culture/knowledge/mentality/education. In a word, reveals his quality. In this way it is a quality of politicians.
Purpose of criticism is to reveal the weakness or fault of the opponent so that their popularity, support decreases.
But if it is not done effectively, it may become boomerang.
One recent example of such situation is the criticism of Anu Mohammad and His national Committee. In the parliament , our highly educated (?) state Minister for Forest and environment Ministry criticized
Anu Mohammad in such a way that Anu Mohammad and his commiitte got people's sympathy and Mr. Environment won hatred from people. He has also revealed his own standard and mentality.
To be a politician , some one need to have many skills and how to criticize opponents effectively is one of them. Liek any other skill , this can also be learned ansd must be learned. Otherwise have to face situation liek our so called foriegn educated বন ও পরিবেশ প্রতিমন্ত্রি who has maintained name of his ministry, criticizing highly educated, professor like Anu Mohammad in way that uneducated people from forest do.
However, let's talk how to criticize effectively .
First principle- don't criticize person, rather criticize his/her action.
Second Principle - while criticizing don't express disrespect or hatred to them.
Third principle - Show with facts and figure why their action/claim is wrong or against peopel /country.
Fourth principle- don't give any decison that they are enmey of people or party , rather leave it for people to decide based on the information and facts/ figure you give.
If you can not do so, opponent will gain popularity (as Anu mohammad gained after being called টোকাই।) and you will reveal your own standard and gain disrespect from poeple, loose populairty.
Google is a free service, our politicians should learn free how to criticize effectively so that it doesn't become boomerang.
