Emphasizing democratic values, Salahuddin said constructive dialogue in parliament is essential for strengthening institutions and ensuring national progress. 

He urged political leaders to prioritize the public interests above partisan politics.

He advised the NCP to accept ups and downs in politics to survive in the long run, reminding them there are many political parties which now remained only on signboards.

The Home Adviser said politics is not a static matter, adding, “Everyone has to adjust with the time passage. The declaration and organogram of the political parties should be changed with the time.”

“They who stand in a same place, cannot survive,” he opined saying participation of the NCP in the politics will shine the politics. 

“The participation of young people in politics will make us more respectful,” he said, adding that the NCP will take forward the country ahead with respecting the demand of the young folk.
