The Story in Brief
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Thursday that Gen Z and Gen Alpha are honest generations and that he trusts Gen Z “blindly”. Speaking at an event in Mumbai, he said students protesting are not anti-national and called them “our own people”.
Hindustan Times reports that Bhagwat said the reasons for the lathi charge and alleged pellet-gun use during a July 20 NEET paper leak protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar must be studied, while he lacked complete information about the incident. India Today reports that he described protest as a democratic means of dialogue and said education reforms should include wider access, fee regulation and a 6% budget share.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy claim that every student protest is anti-national deserves no place in public debate. But the opposite claim, that every protest action is automatically justified, is just as weak. The key issue is evidence: what happened at Jantar Mantar, who ordered the force and whether pellet guns were used at all. A clear account from police and organisers, backed by video and medical records, should settle that question.
