Can the one who elects lawmaker also become law maker?The News channel discussed with journalist Hamar prem Kumar. He supported the demand to reduce the age for contesting elections. He said, 'Till some time ago, the age for voting was not even 18 years. A few years agoit was reduced to 18 years and the result was good. The youth voted in large numbers. The age of 25 was fixedthinking that by then the person would become mature.But the difference between 18 and 25 is not just the age. We see that if we are given the right to vote, then we can assume that he is mature. If he can choose a lawmaker, then he can also be a lawmaker himself.' "No one wins elections because someone wants to. First, he will become a candidate, then if the public considers him worthy, then they will choose their leader. When the voting age has been reduced, thenthe age to become a lawmaker should also be reduced."Will a 21-year-old boy know how the budget is made or how international relations work?In response to this question, journalist Hamar prem Kumar said, 'This is an important point because we also believe that at least he should be a graduate.But there is no such condition tobecome a lawmaker. Even an uneducated person can become a lawmaker. Graduation has no direct connection with becoming a lawmaker. Therefore, graduation cannot be presented as an obstacle. Practically, we can see that it is good if one passes graduation. Usually, graduation is completed by the age of 21.'On dynastic politics, journalist Hamar prem Kumar said, "Often we consider dynastic politics to be bad. But the truth is that only when the public accepts it, someone become an mp or MLA. The way of choosing a candidate can be a party or dynasty, but there is no obstacle in front of the public. Look from another perspective, when stones are thrown at a leader's house, he is abused, sent to jail, andthen the whole family suffers. So when the family stands with him in sorrow, then they should stand with him in happiness. Therefore, family is not an issue at all. He wins only when the public votes."Well, every coin has two sides. Everyone has their own views. There are different views on this issue too. It will be interesting to see how much importance the government gives to the issue of reducing the electoral age and from what perspective it thinks.
