Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has cautioned youth about regressive politics as the majority of our population is under the age of 40.

He made the comment during the International Youth day celebrations in Suva yesterday, encouraging the youth to think critically.

He adds for people to win political office, they must not get into racism provincialism, and gender disparity.

“This is, of course, I have to say this, an election year and I’m not here to campaign but you’ll also see a lot of narratives developing and you as a youth really are the critical voice because if we have regressive politics, you won’t have a brighter future.”

Sayed-Khaiyum says politicians must be able to ensure that policies are inclusive.
