RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said Gen Z are “apne log” and their protests should be addressed with dialogue, not labeled anti-national. He called Gen Z “more honest” and said he trusts them. Comments came after student protests over NEET paper leaks.

Bhagwat added that increasing the education budget alone would not be sufficient. “Only doing that won’t suffice because no one has ever said that the government should run the entire education system.”
