"Protesting Youth Are Not Anti-Nationals!” RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Backs Gen Z, Says Agitations Happen When Voices Are Ignored

In a major statement that has sparked widespread discussion across the country, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat came out in support of young citizens during an interaction with 'Gen Z' youth. Addressing concerns about rising student demonstrations and youth-led protests, Bhagwat explicitly stated that young people who take to the streets to express their demands should never be labeled as "anti-nationals."

Explaining the root cause behind youth unrest, the RSS chief emphasized that when the legitimate concerns, questions, and aspirations of the younger generation go unheard by authorities or society, natural agitations are bound to break out. He pointed out that public protests are often a direct result of young minds seeking fairness, answers, and meaningful change, rather than any intention to cause harm to the country.

Calling for a more empathetic approach toward handling youth grievances, Bhagwat urged leaders, elders, and institutions to listen patiently to Gen Z instead of dismissing or penalizing their anger. He highlighted that the younger generation possesses immense energy and a strong desire to build a better future, and by engaging in open dialogue with them, the nation can constructively channel their passion toward positive social growth.
