Center-Left Owned by The Printers (Mysore) Pvt. Ltd.'Political change in democracy can come only through elections': RSS justifies SIR, warns against 'anarchist forces'
What's behind this
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale defended the ongoing SIR, saying it is essential for accurate voter lists and urging dialogue with youth amid protests by opposition parties and youth groups. Hosabale claimed that some forces are trying to incite unrest and violence, arguing that regime change must come through ballots, not unrest. He cited the 2025 Gen Z movement in Nepal that brought down its government as an example of external and internal provocation. Earlier, he alleged anarchic forces inciting youth while backing the SIR. In Uttar Pradesh, officials launched a drive to enrol women and youth in voter rolls.
