Home Minister Salahuddin said, politics is not a static matter, it is dynamic. Therefore, political parties should change their election manifestos according to people’s expectations, aspirations, time and needs of youth. Not only the election manifesto, but also the goals and objectives and declarations of political parties are changeable according to people’s expectations, aspirations, time and needs of youth.
