The BJP released an audio clip of senior advocate Prashant Bhushan from an X Spaces discussion, alleging that opposition-associated individuals are pursuing violence and anarchy to change the government. Party spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari claimed the remarks reflect a threat to democracy, though the viral clip does not independently prove an organized conspiracy.
In the shared clip, Prashant Bhushan discusses having the option of a revolution while mentioning potential bloodshed, the use of police and paramilitary forces, and the apprehension of weapons or the military being called in. His most discussed remark in the recording was that a revolution would involve a lot of bloodshed.
The controversy intensified amidst ongoing protests in Delhi regarding SIR and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Prashant Bhushan was detained by police on October 10 while heading to join these demonstrations, which heightened the political confrontation over his leaked audio conversation.
