'Gen Z protesters not anti-national': RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat backs dialogue, calls education grievances ‘genuine’
Bhagwat's interaction is being seen as the RSS' most significant outreach to Gen Z and Gen Alpha since the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protests over NEET paper leak culminated in Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has defended Gen Z protesters, stating that protest is a legitimate form of dialogue in a democracy and that it should aim at building consensus rather than creating divisions. Speaking at the India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) 15th anniversary event, Bhagwat emphasized that dialogue should always be the first step in addressing concerns, even those related to India's education system.
He called the grievances of Gen Z "genuine" and urged a sense of belonging and relationship between generations. Bhagwat also warned against the misuse of technology and the importance of self-discipline and verification of information from authentic sources on social media.
