IIMUN Founder Rishabh Shah Calls for Probe Into Protest
Some young people in India went to a place called Jantar Mantar to protest.
They were upset about a big exam called NEET and a rumored paper leak.
A man named Rishabh Shah runs a student group called IIMUN.
He said most of the people at the protest were young people with real worries.
He also said that if other grown-up groups were involved, the government should check.
He remembered what the chief of RSS, Mohan Bhagwat, had said.
Mr. Bhagwat said young people are not bad for the country.
He said they just want honest answers and like to ask questions.
Mr. Shah met Mr. Bhagwat at a big student event on August 6.
More than 2,000 students from over 100 cities came to that event.
IIMUN founder Rishabh Shah said there should be an inquiry if groups other than Gen Z were involved in the Jantar Mantar protest.
Shah said the vast majority of those present were Gen Z protesters attending for genuine reasons.
Shah cited RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's headline-making statement that Gen Z is not anti-national and is speaking for itself.
Shah interacted with Bhagwat on August 6 at IIMUN's 15th anniversary and Annual Championship Conference in Mumbai.
Bhagwat said the younger generation was drawing attention to genuine concerns rather than seeking conflict.

“So if it feels to the government or to other people in the government that apart from Gen Z, there were other people who were part of the protest, then definitely there should be an inquiry.”
