Last night, one of the politicians went to meet the family of one of the martyr's. The family, politely at first, and firmly later, refused to meet the politician. After all, it is the family's prerogative whom to meet and whom not to meet. I don't find anything wrong in it.
However, there is something very seriously wrong with our political class. Imagine I go to a person's place to offer my condolences. However, instead of going with humility and sincerity, I go there with a pomp to show off or go there because everybody else has been there. I also take sniffer dogs with me, just to be ultra-sure that there are no bombs at that place. How would that person feel?
The next day, our TRP-hungry media, questioned the family and the politician. When they should have left the family alone, they went to needle the family.
Here comes the worst - our eminent politician says - "Not a dog would have visited that house had his son not been a martyr."
Where is humility? Where is humanity? Do you understand that someone has died? Do you understand that someone has lost his son? Do you feel his pain? Do you know what is the value of life?
How can you? After all, you are Mr. Politician.

these politicians only think of votes... each and everything is an opportunity... they want to see personal gain out of it...
and they have these huge egos... with such huge egos where will they ever understand others...
Even after the media exposed the politician, he was not ready to apologize. And yes, these guys have massive egos.
