My dear Ejazur
I never meant that your parents taught you to use any offensive language. Believe you me that though I never met you, I respect and honor your parents just like my own parents. Be no doubt about it. (And I have all my respect for you also).
I am not very sure what "ideologies" you are talking. I am also not very sure who is `fakiror zaath" and who is not (extremely sorry for using this word). But like I will never call a lame though he is a lame. To me the word you used was not only harsh, it was_______________ also. And to me it does not suit to use a word like this for a person like you though may suit to a rickshaw puller (Oop, I may have to read the sermon of somebody else again). And I don't mean that he should be using it either.
I refrain myself to say anything further on CTG and politicians. You have your viewpoint and I have mine and not necessarily agreeing with your viewpoint. But at least we can agree on one point that we disagree.
With lot of regards
Junaid
