New Delhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh joint general secretary Atul Limaye has called the youth movement that led to the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan “anti-national,” “anti-constitutional” and urged people not to look at it “solely from an ‘anti-BJP’ perspective.”Limaye, whose official position is Sahsarkaryavah, was addressing activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the RSS youth wing, at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, earlier last week.In line with vast efforts by the BJP to discredit the powerful nationwide protests, Limaye claimed, according to Indian Express, that the initial student expression over the NEET paper leak was spontaneous, but that the protests led by the Cockroach Janata Party was “orchestrated with a larger objective.”He claimed that the Left’s concept of “alternative politics” was successfully tested through the agitation.“Dr Ambedkar had warned about anarchists long ago. Now is the time to decode this, understand it, and take precautions against such anarchist forces, which are detrimental to the nation,” Limaye claimed.“The student agitation originating from the paper leak was meant to rectify a wrong in the education system. However, it fell into the hands of the wrong people,” Limaye was also quoted as having said.Another report said that Limaye asked ABVP members, “Do not look at it solely from an ‘anti-BJP’ perspective. View it instead as a movement weaponised against the Constitution—a movement used as a tool to oppose the Constitution. View it as a movement raised against the nation—against India—and it is from this perspective that we must properly assess this force.”Several small and big students’ organisations across the country supported and agitated on behalf of the youth movement against the misconduct of exams that led to the deaths of more than 20 students in the country. The ABVP was not among them.He tasked the ABVP with “decoding” the CJP agitation and taking the initiative of “steering student energy in nation-building work.”“The chronology of the CJP, its methodology, support system, and ideological backing must be understood in detail,” he said, asking “what exactly happened between Dipke’s arrival and June 20?”On June 18, the Delhi Police’s detention of educationist Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on hunger strike for over two weeks at that point, is largely understood to have galvanised support for the movement.“What changed the course of this agitation, and which support systems joined it? These aspects must be unravelled. A look at the organisations supporting the CJP reveals they are mostly inclined toward Left ideology, outfits that subscribe to ‘Bharat Tere Tukde Tukde’ slogans,” Limaye claimed.Limaye also seemed to say that to understand the agitation, statements made by political commentator Yogendra Yadav must be noted: “Yogendra Yadav had said that the future of democracy will not be in Parliament but on the streets, and that protests, not elections, will define the nation’s direction. All these remarks must be decoded.”Like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Limaye too claimed to be perturbed by the language. He said that a police officer who monitored the protest site at Jantar Mantar had told him that it was shocking to see the language used by the students, including young women. “Their behaviour, conduct, and abusive tone stood in sharp contrast to our civil society and cultural values,” he said.
