An airport concourse is no place for political humiliation. The recent incident in which Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus was harassed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York calls for unqualified condemnation irrespective of the quality of leadership he offers. Citizens are entitled to question and criticize any leader's actions. However, confronting an elderly person who is widely respected while he is seated in a wheelchair by screaming insults is neither productive nor dignified.
