Tezzbuzz Desk – Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday made serious allegations against the opposition regarding the protests against Special Intensive Revision (SIR). He claimed that a conspiracy was hatched to incite violence in India. Referring to the unrest in Bangladesh and France, Rijiju said that an attempt was made to create a similar situation in India also.
Rijiju, in a post on social media platform X, alleged that anti-India groups and some leaders colluded to instigate the youth and spread violence on the streets. He said that a conspiracy was hatched for India also to create situation like violent incidents in Bangladesh and riots, arson and looting in France.
The Union Minister said that India is not Bangladesh or France. Regarding change of governance, he said that change of power in India is possible only through elections, not through any external force or Soros.
Rijiju also shared a video of All India Students Association (AISA) president Neha Bora and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan along with his social media post. According to him, in the video both are seen advocating regime change.
This controversy has come to light after the protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi. During the protest, questions were raised regarding alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list. Meanwhile, the political debate intensified when opposition leaders and student activists talked about changing the government.
At the same time, senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan rejected the allegation of calling this movement a campaign to change the government led by the opposition. He said that his aim is to appeal to save electoral democracy in the country. According to Bhushan, if such situation continues then the government may change.
Bhushan also said that it is not wrong to wish to change the government. According to him, changing the government is the democratic right of every citizen and expressing resentment against the government is not a crime.
Political rhetoric has now intensified regarding the SIR protests and the demand for regime change. On one hand, Rijiju has alleged an alleged conspiracy to incite violence, while on the other hand, Prashant Bhushan has called the demand for change of government a democratic right. Political turmoil continues on this issue.
