Smriti Irani On Gen Z: 'Jantar Mantar Protest Was Not A Reflection Of Entire Generation'
In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, BJP leader Smriti Irani discusses the Gen Z protests, the political groups she says were present at Jantar Mantar, and the distinction between genuine student grievances and political mobilisation. She defends Prime Minister Narendra Modi's outreach to young Indians, speaks about respect for institutions, the armed forces and the Constitution, and responds to questions about whether the BJP and RSS are disconnecting from Gen Z. Irani also shares her message to India's youth and explains her own efforts to support young entrepreneurs and women-led businesses.
