Dictatorships crash when dialogue fails: Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Saamana' · thehansindia.com

The Shiv Sena(UBT) has criticized the BJP-led Central government for its handling of recent youth-led protests in New Delhi.

The party's editorial in 'Saamana' accuses the government of using excessive force against protesters and avoiding dialogue with movement leaders and affected citizens.

The editorial draws parallels with global student- and youth-led revolutions, warning that a breakdown in dialogue can lead to civil unrest and the downfall of authoritarian regimes.

It also questions why Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has not been asked to resign amidst the ongoing youth discontent.

Shiv Sena party editorial

“On the streets of Delhi, police were lathi‑charging youth, while angry young people quietly stood their ground and absorbed the blows. When protesters are born who say, ‘Hit me more, but I will not move from here’, what harm can dictators do to them?”
