I dont think what I said is harsh for a responsible public figure making irresponsible statements. Aik jahil to jahil nahin kahein gai to aur kya kahein gai? Your comparison to family father figures is valid and no I would not use these words for any of them. However, respect needs to be earned not given because of age. Certainly thats not the criteria for respecting political figures.
