Views of Older Persons
Older Persons: Often ignored by Political class
“Politicians have no sensitivity towards older persons. Even when they themselves become old, they don’t want to extend a helping hand towards other older persons, because they do not consider them as important voters.”
-Vibhuti Narayan Pandey, 87, Rohtas, Bihar
“Although older people regularly vote and their numbers are also very high but they are not considered a vote bank because they are not looked at as a group.”
- Mohd. Irfan Khan, 61, Retired University Professor, Aligarh, UP
“Who has ever heard any politician ever talking about old people in the parliament?”
- Dr. Sushila Patnaik, 66, Rourkela, Orissa
“If my children have no job or sufficient income, do you think we will let our grandchildren suffer because we need maintenance?”
- Suman Kaushik, 70, Udaipur, Rajasthan
“Which Indian would ever force his daughter or son-in-law to provide for him?” we won’t even have a drop of water in our married daughter’s house, how can we force them to provide for us?” what kind of law is this & for whom?
- Uday Shankar Manik Rao Kane, 64, Pune, Maharashtra
