Spare us the lecture on “regime change is normal in a democracy.”
You know exactly what the phrase means when Prashant Bhushan and AISA’s Neha Bora use it while invoking Bangladesh’s Gen Z street movement that toppled a government outside the electoral calendar. That is not “oppose, expose and depose through elections.” That is a deliberate attempt to normalise extra-constitutional pressure, street veto and manufactured unrest.
If it is only about elections, why the hurry? Why the Bangladesh template? Why frame protests against the Election Commission as a “fight for regime change”?In a real democracy, governments change when voters decide at the ballot box, not when a handful of activists and opposition leaders decide the system is “dictatorial” the moment they keep losing. You yourself have used the phrase in purely electoral contexts before. The difference is context, and this context reeks of anarchy-shopping.
The BJP is not “apoplectic with feigned rage.” We are simply refusing to pretend that “regime change” + Bangladesh reference = routine parliamentary opposition. India is not Bangladesh. Our institutions, our voters and our Constitution will decide the next government in 2029, not street theatrics dressed up as high principle.
Do your job in Parliament and on the campaign trail. Stop trying to import instability and then gaslight the country about dictionary definitions.

🚨 DISRESPECTING THE TIRANGA LIKE THIS? 🇮🇳
A Cockroach Janata Party protester pulling the Indian national flag out of his socks. What kind of behaviour is this?
The Tiranga is our national pride, not a prop to be pulled out of your socks. SHAMEFUL!

महिलाएँ भावुक होकर बताती हैं कि वे करीब ₹10 लाख के कर्ज़ के साथ सामान लेकर आई थीं। अब उन्हें अपने कारोबार, कर्ज़ और बच्चों के भविष्य की चिंता सता रही है। उनकी मांग है कि विरोध-प्रदर्शन निर्धारित प्रदर्शन स्थल पर किया जाए, ताकि आसपास के व्यापारियों की रोज़ी-रोटी प्रभावित न हो।
आखिर प्रदर्शन और स्थानीय कारोबार के बीच संतुलन कैसे बनाया जाए? देखिए कनॉट प्लेस से महिला व्यापारियों की पूरी बात। @SinghRanu18

Ho grande rispetto per le migliaia di persone che oggi hanno manifestato pacificamente, anche partecipando alla mobilitazione indetta dalla CGIL che ha visto anche la partecipazione dei leader della sinistra. Qualunque siano le idee per le quali si manifesta, la partecipazione è alla base di qualunque sana democrazia.
Dall’altro lato, però, non possiamo ignorare quanto accaduto in altre piazze italiane. A Milano, come mostrano queste immagini, lanci di pietre contro le Forze dell’Ordine, agenti feriti, danneggiamenti e violenze che hanno costretto a interrompere il corteo. A Torino sono state fermate persone con sanpietrini e martelletti frangivetro. A Bologna i disordini hanno portato alla chiusura precauzionale della stazione ferroviaria.
Teppisti che sfruttano le manifestazioni per seminare il caos, aggredire chi garantisce la sicurezza e tenere in ostaggio intere città.
Manifestare è un diritto. Mettere a ferro e fuoco le nostre città non lo è.
Rinnovo la mia richiesta alle opposizioni: non siano ambigue su questo. Condannino senza ambiguità queste violenze e lancino un appello chiaro affinché ogni mobilitazione sia pacifica.
Di fronte a scene del genere, il rifiuto deve essere unanime. Ogni reticenza diventa giustificazione. Il silenzio non è accettabile.
