Mehbooba Mufti, President of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), urged newly elected parliamentarians on Monday to advocate for the younger generation, whose future appears dim.
Addressing X, Mufti stated, “Today, as hundreds of elected MPs take their oaths after well-deserved victories, lakhs of students across India who tirelessly prepared for multiple competitive exams will watch helplessly as their efforts seem futile.”
She emphasized that Parliament, as India’s temple of democracy, must contrast starkly with the despair faced by these young individuals. Mufti called upon every parliamentarian to transcend party lines and speak up for the younger generation, whose prospects seem increasingly bleak.
