Union Minister Chirag Paswan threw his weight behind the youth protest scheduled for Saturday (October 10, 2026), while adding that there needs to be dialogue to resolve the current crisis. He also accused Opposition parties of politicising the issue.

Responding to questions about the government clampdown ahead of Saturday’s protest, including the cancellation of trains headed to Delhi, internet shutdowns and the closure of Metro stations, Mr. Paswan said, “These are the youth of India. Nothing can stop them.” He was speaking to media at the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli (NIFTEM-K) in Sonepat, Haryana, on Friday (October 9, 2026), where he was attending the institution’s 7th convocation ceremony.

He asked, “How many trains can be stopped and for how many days, how many roads can be blocked? Can it really hold them (youth protesters) back?”
