Even as the BJP continued to rain fire on the anti-CEC protesters, alleging that their real objective was regime change, senior advocate and part of the protesting group Prashant Bhushan on Thursday owned the accusation.
Prashant Bhushan also said spreading “disaffection” against a government is not a crime in a democracy, adding that the struggle is now “really for a regime change”.
Yes, we all want regime change,” he announced. “The government alleges the opposition wants a regime change… We are currently fighting to ensure that elections are conducted properly. But if this kind of brutality continues, there will certainly be regime change. “That is why this is now really a fight for regime change against a dictatorial government. The BJP hit out at the Opposition after Bhushan’s comment, alleging that the SIR was just a smokescreen for Rahul Gandhi and his real agenda was to derail Indian democracy. He added that Rahul Gandhi was not fit to be Leader of Opposition.
Bhushan also said spreading “disaffection” against a government is not a crime in a democracy, adding that the struggle is now “really for a regime change”. A government that is crushing democracy,” he said.
