Odisha CM cautions Gen Z against external forces, urges patriotism
A leader in India, Mohan Charan Majhi, who is the head of a state called Odisha, gave a speech on Sunday.
He spoke to young people, whom people call Gen Z. Majhi told them to be careful because he said some secret 'outside forces' from other countries are trying to trick them.
He said these forces use social media to try to mislead young people and make India look weak.
He said the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is trying to help young people, but these outside forces are getting in the way.
Majhi asked young people to love their country and stay united.
He was speaking at the start of a campaign called 'Har Ghar Tiranga,' which encourages every home to fly India's flag.
He said the youth are India's future and will help build a strong, developed India.
The speech came after another leader, Dharmendra Pradhan, said someone tried to mislead young people during protests about a big exam called NEET.
Majhi said no outside force can weaken India's young people.
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi cautioned Gen Z against 'external forces' he said are trying to mislead them and weaken India on the global stage.
He made the remarks while launching the state-level 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign in Bhubaneswar.
Majhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been trying to empower the country's youth, but they are being misled through social media by 'invisible forces' operating from foreign soil.
He urged youth to prioritize patriotism and described them as India's future who will build a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India).
The remarks followed BJP MP Dharmendra Pradhan's claim that attempts were made to mislead Gen Z during protests over the NEET paper leak, prompting his resignation as Union education minister.
