Prashant Bhushan Calls for Regime Change to Protect Democracy

Bhushan’s remarks came as he joined AISA president Neha Bora and activist Abhijit Dipke to voice growing opposition to the state of civil liberties. He asserted that creating disaffection against a government that undermines citizens' rights is not a criminal act, but a necessary response to political overreach. According to Bhushan, the administration's actions have left no alternative but to demand a leadership shift to preserve the country's democratic framework.

Bora shifted the focus to the treatment of journalists, citing recent incidents of harassment and intimidation. She highlighted a specific case where a reporter attempting to file a complaint regarding sexual harassment was met with a retaliatory police filing. This pattern, she suggested, reflects a broader trend where law enforcement prioritizes political interests over public safety. In response to these developments, the CJP and supporting organizations, including the AAPI, have scheduled a protest at Connaught Place’s Central Park this Saturday to challenge the Election Commission.
