Did the student movement represent the voice of India's youth, or was it hijacked by anti-social elements?
In this intense NDTV debate, political analyst Karan Verma calls the CJP protest a movement led by "hoodlums" and criticises the Modi government for negotiating with its leaders after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
Political analyst Ashutosh strongly disagrees, arguing that every mass movement attracts disruptive elements and warning against discrediting an entire student movement because of isolated incidents. The debate also touches on allegations of violence, police action, "deep state" theories, political accountability, and the future implications of the protests.
