PM mentions oldest, youngest, longest serving MPs

As the functioning of Parliament shifts to the new building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned the oldest member of Lok Sabha - 93 years old Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq – and the youngest - 30 years old Chandrani Murmu of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) – who became an MP at the age of 25.

He also remembered Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Indrajit Gupta, who served as a Lok Sabha MP for almost 36 years from 1960 to 2001, except for a short period from 1977 to 1980.
