  "account": "Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat expressed support for Gen Z in a recent statement, describing their protests as a form of dialogue in a democracy. His remarks aimed to reassure the youth against last month's student protests in Delhi. He stated, \"Gen Z are our own children. If they protest for an issue, how can they become anti-national? Their concerns should be heard.\" Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi criticized Bhagwat, saying they don't need a \"certificate\" from him, highlighting that protests don't make young people anti-national.",
  "summary": "While BJP leaders praised Bhagwat’s remarks and called him an inspiration, opposition parties questioned why BJP leaders had criticised young protesters.",
