"'Young' MPs (those aged less than 40) participated the least in the Lok Sabha proceedings. They accounted for 11 percent of seats but only around seven percent of debates. MPs over the age of 70 accounted for 10 percent of seats and nine percent of total debates," says the statistics by the PRS Legislative Research.
