Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Tuesday welcomed the planned interaction between Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat and Gen Z and Gen Alpha students in Mumbai, saying that dialogue between older generations and young people is a positive development. However, Dipke stressed that such conversations would be more effective if younger representatives were also included in the process.

Bhagwat is scheduled to interact with students at the inauguration ceremony of the International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Annual Championship Conference at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai on August 6, according to news agency PTI. The event is expected to bring together students from younger generations for discussions on various social and global issues. Reacting to the upcoming interaction, Dipke said that the willingness of senior leaders to engage with young people showed that youth concerns were gaining attention. "It is good that dialogue is taking place. But it will be even better if some young faces are deployed for this," he said.

He added that the push for such conversations had come because of increasing participation and demands from young people. Dipke said that youth-led movements and growing public discussions around issues affecting students had encouraged political and social organisations to engage more directly with younger generations. "Youth has forced" these initiatives, he said, suggesting that increased youth involvement in public debates had created pressure for more direct engagement.

The planned interaction comes shortly after youth protests led by the CJP over allegations related to the NEET paper leak issue in New Delhi. The protests had raised concerns over examination transparency and opportunities for students, with the political debate around education and employment issues gaining wider attention. While appreciating the initiative, Dipke argued that discussions involving young people should not only focus on speaking to them but should also involve giving them representation.

He said younger voices should have a greater role in shaping conversations on issues that directly affect students and the next generation. The RSS chief's upcoming meeting with students is part of a broader effort by social and political organisations to engage with young audiences. As concerns over education, employment, technology, and social change continue to influence Gen Z perspectives, interactions between established leaders and younger citizens have become an increasingly important part of public discourse.
