“A lot of youngsters given the opportunity wouldnt want to stay in India. I think the prime minister should inspire young people to stay in India so that the best minds don’t leave…I think he should also address the issue of rising crime, especially against women and children. He should encourage more participation and involvement of women in public life, said Bhattacharya. The youth are also keen hear to Modi break his uncharacteristic silence on the spate of the communally charged incidents that have rocked the first three months of the BJP-led NDA regime. I would to like to hear the prime minister say why he has not responded to a number of serious questions that have been raised in the last few months. Why has the over-sharing Modi suddenly become a control freak?Over 600 instances of communal violence have been reported in Uttar Pradesh in the last three months. But the prime minister has said almost nothing about it. There was a lot of talk of taking everyone along but all that seems to have been forgotten going by the silence of the prime minister, said Usman Javed, a student at the Delhi School of Economics. Modis silence on the day’s burning issues has become a sore point with a lot of young people who they feel that he should use the Independence Day speech to clarify his stand on recent controversies. Says Premjish Achari, a student at JNU’s School of Arts and Aesthetics, Right now, a lot of disturbing things are going on in our country. Statements by RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat and BJP leaders like Subramanian Swamyare only aggravating communal tensions. The prime minister is silent. This is very dangerous. I would like him to address these issues and take into confidence all sections of society. He does not represent the RSS or the BJP anymore. He is PM of India. The second disturbing trend is that he is not allowing his MPs and his ministers to speak. This again is a dangerous. We want to know what is going on with the government, the economy, what actions are being taken. That communication is missing. firstpost/politics/modis-independence-day-speech-youth-want-hear-1664813.html
