Opposition members need to keep their cool and learn to abide by democratic practices

Politicians- especially legislators- need to keep their heads cool and their emotions under control when operating in the arena.

In all their years as minority members challenging a dictatorship, MDP MPs and their parliamentary allies never once resorted to physical violence.  Granted, there were incidents where voices were raised, fingers were pointed, and some jumped on top of tables.  One MP even made a rude gesture involving his zip towards one of the then ruling MPs.  

This is in stark contrast to the events which took place in the Majlis today where DRP MPs (Mahloof in particular) walked towards MDP's parliamentary group leader and attempted to strike him.  Sure, Moosa must have goaded him, but this does not excuse a recourse to physical harm.  This is a new low by parliamentary standards.

Speaking on the TVM show Q & A with Mighdad, DRP member Ali Waheed railed against the "activists" in government.  He and his parliamentary colleagues need to take a look at the mirror.

DRP members need to learn that while peaceful demonstrations in public places are acceptable, fist fights in the hallowed chamber of the Majlis are most certainly not.
