No, I don't think you understand how it works. If you are going to hold someone to a standard, then hold EVERYONE to that standard. You can't just hold someone

No, I don't think you understand how it works.
If you are going to hold someone to a standard, then hold EVERYONE to that standard. You can't just hold someone to an arbitrary standard just because you don't like them.

However, the question is, does it need to be stated explicitly every time someone gets criticized, or asked to be held accountable for something. > You can't just hold someone to an arbitrary standard just because you don't like them. I don't think that was happening here. Modi wasn't being held to an "arbitrary standard" because he wasn't "liked". His actions were the point of discussion here.
- scarmig 12y agoI'm more than happy to condemn Narendra Modi and Rajiv Gandhi equally. Hell, I'll say Rajiv Gandhi was much worse. Neither of them would have gotten my vote in the last election. The former because he was complicit in communal violence in 2002, the latter because he was complicit in communal violence in 1984 and not running and dead.
