“Today’s Youth Have A Very Wrong Notion Considering The Voting Day As A Holiday”: Pankaj Tripathi

Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi, who is being named state icon of Bihar by the Election Commission of India, says it was his dream and wish to work in the interest of youth and public domain.

Excited about it, Pankaj said in a statement: “In a democracy, voting is a huge and most important right of a common man. Whatever changes a common man wants to bring in the country he can bring it through the process of voting. Generally, today’s youth have a very wrong notion considering the voting day as a holiday in the calendar.”

“They should not think that way and should come forward in huge numbers to vote, increase the voting percentage.”

Pankaj, who featured in the film “Newton“, said voting is a festival of democracy and should be celebrated enthusiastically.

Being a state icon is a very important and serious responsibility, said Pankaj.
