Regime Change Row: BJP Hits Back as Prashant Bhushan & Opposition Back Call for Political Shift
A major political row has erupted over remarks advocating regime change amid ongoing opposition protests in the national capital. The controversy escalated after student leader Neha Bora cited Bangladesh's Gen Z uprising, drawing sharp reactions. Lawyer Prashant Bhushan asserted that seeking regime change is a democratic and constitutional right, while actor Prakash Raj defended the demand, emphasising that any political change in India must remain strictly peaceful through Mahatma Gandhi's path. Opposition figures maintained that their movement protests against alleged electoral malpractice under the slogan 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod'. The Bharatiya Janata Party mounted a fierce counterattack, alleging that dislodging the elected government has been the opposition's hidden agenda from the outset. Former Union Minister Smriti Irani dismissed the campaign as a political tantrum, asserting that in a democratic framework, governments can only be changed by citizens through elections.
