Social Media Influencer Riya Khanolkar Accuses Opposition of Plotting Power Change
Riya Khanolkar claims opposition movements are tools for chaos and power shifts, linking them to extremist influences.
Mumbai, October 18 (Daily Kiran) : Social media influencer Riya Khanolkar has launched a scathing critique of the opposition’s movements, labeling them as mere tools for political chaos. Speaking in Mumbai, she stated that issues like “vote theft” and the “SIR” controversy are part of a larger agenda aimed at instigating disorder and effecting a change in government.
Khanolkar asserted, “The true intentions of these individuals have been exposed. The topics they raise, such as vote theft, are simply instruments used to achieve their ultimate goal of power change.” She specifically pointed to Neha Bora’s recent visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), where Bora expressed admiration for activist Umar Khalid, claiming to have learned activism from him. Khanolkar emphasized that such actions are not coincidental.
She continued, “We see a pattern where individuals like Kunal Kamra suddenly post lengthy letters in support of Khalid. Senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan has also joined Bora in press conferences, openly stating that this is a youth movement aimed at changing the government. They do not hesitate to declare their intentions to create unrest across the country.”
Khanolkar highlighted Bora’s controversial past, mentioning an incident where Bora threatened to strip a journalist who criticized her. She further accused Bora of drawing inspiration from extremist forces in Bangladesh to pursue her agenda for power change.
The influencer criticized the opposition’s protests, stating that they failed to gain traction in Mumbai and subsequently in Delhi. “When they were in Mumbai, we opposed them vehemently, asserting they had no right to protest without a valid reason. After their failed attempts in the capital, they resorted to street protests instead of following legal channels,” she said.
Khanolkar expressed concern over their methods, claiming they aim to sow discord and promote anti-national sentiments. She noted that Khalid has made statements suggesting that India is illegally occupying Kashmir, and many associated with him face serious legal charges under anti-terror laws.
She warned that if individuals like Bora continue to draw inspiration from figures like Hafiz Saeed and Osama bin Laden, it signals a troubling mindset. Khanolkar emphasized the need for nationalist youth to stand against such movements and to support actions that benefit the country.
“It’s disgraceful for anyone claiming to be an Indian citizen to align with anti-national sentiments. We must raise our voices against those who wish to spread chaos and sympathize with terrorists,” she concluded.
