A personal attack made by one candidate or campaign against another.

Example sentence(s):
  • Mudslinging goes wrong when it is used indiscriminately and becomes noise that few listen to and most condemn. Mudslinging
  • This year hasn't seen that level of mudslinging, but the tone of the race is undeniably more negative than in the states that came earlier on the calendar. CBS News
  • Enough political mudslinging can lead to a candidate dropping out of the race, especially if his or her family is being viciously attacked. Political mudslinging can become so ugly that is can cause a potential nominee to lose favor with his or her political party. WiseGEEK

کیچڑ اچھالنا


Definition from UrduEnglishDictionary.org:
اردو محاورے میں کیچڑ اچھالنا کسی کو بدنام کرنے یعنی اسے بے عزت کرنے کی خاطر لوگوں میں اس کی برائیاں بیان کرنے اور الزام تراشیاں کرنے کو کہتے ہیں۔ سیاست میں اپنے مد مقابل پر کیچڑ اچھالنا ایک معمول ہے، جس میں اصول اور موقف کی بات کرنے کی بچائے اپنے مد مقابل کو نیچا کرنے کے لیے اس کی ذاتی کمزوریاں ڈھونڈ کر اور انہیں بڑھا چڑھا کر ان کی تشہیر کی جاتی ہے۔

Example sentence(s):
  • سیاستدانوں کا ایک دوسرے پر کیچڑ اچھالنا درست روایت نہیں، برداشت کا کلچر فروغ دینے کی ضرورت ہے۔ - Associated Press of Pakistan
