The politics of the apology

May 06, 2025

It is a healthy trend if politicians and parties reflect on their journey and own up to their mistakes

Speaking at Brown University, US, in late April, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that "as far as mistakes of the Congress party are concerned, a lot of those mistakes happened when I was not there, but I am more than happy to take responsibility for everything that the Congress has ever done wrong".

In the specific case of the anti-Sikh riots, Rahul Gandhi said what happened in 1984 was wrong. The leader of the Opposition's assumption of ownership of his party's past actions is welcome, of course; because politicians rarely own up to their (or their party's) mistakes in public; most of them hope for Father Time to heal the wounds or cause people to forget and escape accountability for their actions.
