Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah praises a remark by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat that protests by Gen Z students are not anti-national. NDTV reports that Bhagwat, addressing young people, says such protests reflect democratic rights rather than opposition to the nation. Abdullah’s reaction is presented as supportive of the idea that demonstrators are exercising constitutional freedoms. The articles describe Bhagwat reaching out to youth and characterizing protests as part of democratic expression, countering claims that student demonstrations necessarily represent hostility toward the country. No details about the specific protest or any immediate policy response are included in the provided accounts. The reporting frames the development as a public statement in which both parties publicly align on the interpretation that exercising protest rights is not inherently anti-national.
