Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh national executive member Indresh Kumar has raised sharp questions regarding the funding and organization of Cockroach Janata Party protests. He alleged that certain gullible youths participating in these demonstrations are being misguided by disruptive elements. Questioning the financial backing behind these movements, he expressed apprehension that attempts might be underway to trigger Bangladesh-like turmoil within India. He further asserted that public participation in these protests is steadily dwindling as people recognize their underlying nature.
Protesters Shifting Focus from Old Issues to New Grievances
Indresh Kumar stated that instead of sustaining a focused movement, these protesters keep abandoning older issues to latch onto newer ones. He questioned whether efforts are being made to replicate conditions similar to Bangladesh in India, where anarchy, atrocities against minorities, killings of Sufi tradition followers, and mass displacement of common citizens were witnessed. Emphasizing the gravity of the matter, he publicly asked where these youths and organizers are receiving financial support for all these activities. He maintained that as these realities become clear to the world, crowd sizes at the protest sites are shrinking.
Targeting Opposition Parties Over the Use of the Tricolour
The RSS leader also targeted opposition parties for using the national flag during CJP campaigns. He alleged that political opponents are employing the Tricolour as a tool to create division among citizens. Reminding everyone that the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has already reached crores of families, he criticized the opposition for failing to fulfill their grand promises nationwide. He remarked that they are merely recycling past initiatives launched by parties currently governing at the Centre, asking what new contribution they intend to make.
Using the National Flag as a Leverage Tool
Indresh Kumar alleged that certain individuals want to use the national flag as a weapon to exert political pressure. According to him, occasions like Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti have further elevated respect for the Tricolour across millions of households through the Har Ghar Tiranga initiative. He noted that while the flag symbolizes national unity, some factions are attempting to exploit it to foster societal divisions, asserting that such efforts will yield no positive outcome.
India Stands Firm on Democratic Values and Mutual Respect
Responding to opposition leaders comparing India to nations like France or Albania, Indresh Kumar affirmed that India has always followed the path of democracy and will continue to do so. He emphasized that India is a nation that respects all religions, a fact acknowledged globally. Recalling the legacies of Gautama Buddha, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Guru Nanak, Mahavira, Lord Rama, and Lord Krishna, he stated that the country remains deeply rooted in high ethical standards.
India Inspires the World Rather Than Learning from Others
Indresh Kumar stated that India does not need lessons from other countries, as the world is currently learning from India. Highlighting efforts to curb anarchy and resolve global conflicts, he pointed out that over 38 nations have conferred their highest civilian honors on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the past 10 to 11 years. He questioned why these international honors were bestowed upon today's India rather than any other nation.
Views on the Role of the Country's Youth
Addressing the youth of the nation, Indresh Kumar expressed confidence that Indian youth have historically remained on the right path and will continue to do so. However, he reiterated that some young individuals have been misled by disruptive elements due to foreign funding and urged them to abandon the wrong path and return to the right direction. Meanwhile, CJP continues to receive notable backing from opposition politicians, with party leader Abhijit Dipke recently thanking Shiv Sena UBT leader Uddhav Thackeray for his support.
