Union minister Kiren Rijiju alleged on Sunday (October 18, 2026) that a "conspiracy" similar to one that led to violent incidents in France and Bangladesh earlier was hatched here by "anti-India gangs and some politicians" to instigate youngsters and spread violence on the streets.

But those who hatched such a "dangerous conspiracy" forgot that India is neither Bangladesh nor France, Mr. Rijiju said, launching a fresh attack on the opposition and others who held a series of protests in Delhi this month against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
