Shashi Tharoor Highlights Youth Engagement Amid Student Protests and Campaigns
Shashi Tharoor reflected on Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' student campaign, noting it addressed issues later raised by the CJP protests but did not resonate as strongly. Tharoor emphasized the importance of listening to youth voices, highlighting his choice to engage with protesters at Jantar Mantar without speaking. He stressed that Gen Z will be a significant voting group by 2029 and urged politicians to adapt to their demand for change. The CJP protests called for accountability over exam paper leaks, leading to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
