Dipke backs Bhagwat, urges BJP to drop anti-national tag

The Story in Brief

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday welcomed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s support for Gen Z protesters and urged BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to stop calling protesting students anti-national. Bhagwat made the remarks during an interaction with Gen Z and Gen Alpha at Mumbai’s Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, saying young people could protest over genuine issues. Dipke also supported Bhagwat’s call to investigate misleading social media videos. He alleged that many originated from political IT cells, a claim not independently established in the reports. Dipke said CJP workers were supporting student protests in Jharkhand but wanted students to lead the movement themselves.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy narrative that every student protest is anti-national is as unhelpful as treating every viral clip as proof of official misinformation. Dipke’s allegations about BJP IT cells need evidence, not repetition, while Bhagwat’s appeal for verification applies to all political actors. The useful test is straightforward: will investigators identify which videos were fabricated, and will leaders withdraw labels when claims against students are disproved?
