Responding to derogatory remarks from Congress leaders, Raghavendra urged for civility in political discourse, stressing the need for mutual respect among national leaders. Despite facing personal attacks, he maintained his commitment to dignified engagement, calling for a higher standard of conduct from all parties involved.
