A political slugfest broke out over All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha Bora’s praise for Bangladesh’s Gen Z movement, which eventually led to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ouster, with the BJP attacking her for “wanting a regime change through anarchy”.
“…We know that the Gen Z movement that we are seeing everywhere in this country first started in Bangladesh, and congratulations to you for showing us the way, for showing us and extending solidarity to the young people of this country. In a video message on October 14, Bora extended her support to Bangladesh’s Socialist Students Front on the occasion of its sixth national conference.
She said young activists in India were learning from student-led movements in Bangladesh. We know that the movement that began in Bangladesh was for democratic and voter rights,” she said in the video shared by the movement’s official account.
Congress leader Rashid Alvi said the party did not support anyone “taking law in their hands” when asked about the controversy surrounding Bora’s remarks. Rejecting the BJP’s allegations, he said any change of government in India would take place through democratic means.

In a post on X, he said, “Neha Bora, who is the poster girl of Rahul Gandhi, proves Rahul’s resistance is not political. In a press conference on Thursday, Bhandari said that the objective of the protests is to “conspiring to destroy democracy in India”. Both want a change of government through anarchy, and both have fared miserably in electoral politics,” he said. Karnataka BJP MLC CT Ravi said in a post on X, “Is the movement against the CEC taking inspiration from the Bangladesh uprising that led to the fall of its government?
