Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson meets Abhijeet Dipke, says Gen Z adopted Bapu's values
Speaking to reporters, Dipke stated that support from Gandhi's family shows that the movement was and will remain peaceful and non-violent.
Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, met with Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, on Wednesday and emphasized that Generation Z has embraced the values of their great-grandfather. During his time at Boston University, Tushar Gandhi stated that the support from Gandhi's family proves that the movement was and will remain non-violent.
He asserts that Mahatma Gandhi's ideology serves as the nation's soul, and their agitation succeeded by adhering to his non-violent path. Tushar Gandhi highlighted that Gen Z has moved beyond viewing Gandhi solely as a symbol, as seen through initiatives like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the Jantar Mantar agitation. He observed that Gen Z's activism inspires Gen Alpha, furthering the success of the CJP movement.
In a recent crackdown on July 20, the government claimed no violence was used against protestors, but Tushar Gandhi accused them of spreading false narratives. He also criticized Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju for allegedly lying about the use of force.
