Young political workers from various political parties in Norwegia were encouraged by the chief advisor to get more involved in politics to bring about meaningful change in their respective societies. Chief advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus expressed this call during a meeting held at the National Guest House Yamuna on Tuesday.
The chief advisor emphasized the importance of youth participation in politics to shape policies and make a real impact. He highlighted the need for young people to actively engage in decision-making processes to ensure their voices are heard in the political arena.
Among the attendees were representatives from different political parties in Norwegia, including the Socialist Youth League leader Nazma Ahmed, international leader of the EUF, and Central Board member Fauzi Warsam, Center Party member Den Skoftharuud, Conservative Party member Ola Sørensenby, member of the Christian Democrats Hadal Rasmus Bajuland, Green Party-United Group Green Youth member Tobias Stokkland, and former leader of the Young Liberals of Inland Thaira Håkansson-Lockken.
The chief advisor discussed with them the political landscape, perspectives, and programs, and inquired about the youth participation rate in mainstream politics in Norwegia. He also sought their views on the experiences of engaging with young people in Bangladesh, who often struggle to exercise their voting rights.
To ensure that young people can exercise their voting rights, the chief advisor stressed the importance of institutional reform in Bangladesh, citing the challenges faced due to past electoral practices that restricted voter turnout. He underlined the need for a change in the institutional framework to empower young voters and enable them to participate more effectively in the political process.
Reflecting on the political environment in the country, the chief advisor likened the current challenges faced by the interim government to “clearing the jungle,” a task that requires a systematic approach to address underlying issues effectively.
Furthermore, the chief advisor mentioned the need to transform the existing structures to meet the demands of the changing times. He expressed hope that the transformation process would be swift and efficient to adapt to the evolving political landscape.
In conclusion, the chief advisor’s call for increased youth participation in politics resonates with the need for meaningful change and active engagement in decision-making processes. The involvement of young political workers in shaping policies and driving social transformation is essential for building a more inclusive and democratic society.
So, like, that’s the gist of the whole thing. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, that’s journalism for you. Just reporting the facts with a sprinkle of imperfection, right?
