Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Friday welcomed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks defending Gen Z protesters, and urged the BJP leadership and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop branding protesting students as “anti-national”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His response came a day after Bhagwat, while interacting with Gen Z and Gen Alpha students at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, said that young people have a right to protest over genuine issues and should not be labelled anti-national.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ANI, Dipke described Bhagwat’s statement as significant and said he fully agreed that students’ concerns were legitimate and that peaceful protest was their democratic right.<\/p>\n

Calls on BJP to change its stance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dipke urged Bhagwat to convey the same message to the BJP leadership, saying that as a mentor-like figure to the ruling party, his views should influence its approach towards student movements.<\/p>\n

He alleged that several BJP leaders had previously used derogatory language against protesting students.<\/p>\n

Referring to former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Bihar minister Nitin Nabin, Dipke claimed students had been described as the “B-team of terrorists” and a “virus”. He expressed hope that the party would now heed Bhagwat’s remarks.<\/p>\n

Dipke also supported Bhagwat’s call for an investigation into misleading videos circulating on social media, claiming that authorities should determine which content was genuine and which was fabricated.<\/p>\n

Extends support to Jharkhand protests<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CJP founder also expressed solidarity with the ongoing student protests in Jharkhand, saying party volunteers had already reached the state and were providing food to demonstrators.<\/p>\n

He said he planned to visit once his health permitted but stressed that student leaders should remain at the forefront of the movement rather than CJP alone.<\/p>\n

Dipke said the organisation would continue functioning as a pressure group to demand accountability, arguing that collective public action had already led to significant political outcomes, including a ministerial resignation.<\/p>\n
