Debate Intensifies Over Calls for Regime Change and Election Commission Protests in India
Prashant Bhushan defended calls for regime change in India as a democratic right, accusing the BJP of hypocrisy for previously protesting for similar changes. He argued that expressing discontent with the government is constitutional unless it incites violence. BJP leaders, including Sambit Patra, countered by alleging that such calls aim to destabilize the government and stage a coup. The debate intensified amid protests against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision, with activists and opposition figures demanding accountability and electoral fairness.
