The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has offered varying perspectives on student protests occurring at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.

Initially, RSS Joint General Secretary Atul Limaye characterized the protests as “unconstitutional” and “anti-national,” suggesting the movement was being weaponized against the nation and the Constitution. He called for an investigation into the mindset and objectives of the protesters.

Later, RSS All India Joint General Secretary C. R. Mukunda attributed the unrest to broader systemic failures rather than focusing solely on corruption. He noted that issues such as the NEET examination have caused significant anxiety among the youth. Mukunda advocated for a constructive approach involving collaboration between the central government, state governments, and society to address institutional gaps, rather than through disruption.
