New Delhi: Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader has emphasised the need for problem-based discussions in the Lok Sabha and Legislative Assemblies, considering India’s large youth population of around 356 million.

He urged the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to take necessary steps to strengthen democracy through more frequent and focused sessions.
The meeting was attended by several prominent figures, including Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajya Sabha Deputy Speaker Harivansh Narayan Singh, Rajasthan Governor Haribavu Kishanrao Bagde, Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devanani, Indian Youth Parliament National Coordinator Ashutosh Josh, and the Secretaries of both Houses, K.R.
