KOLKATA: Several organisations associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are set to organise back-to-back protest programmes in Kolkata, alleging a deteriorating law-and-order situation and what they describe as “anarchy” in the name of ongoing political movements. The demonstrations are expected to continue over consecutive days as affiliated groups seek to raise public awareness on issues they believe have affected governance and normal civic life.
The planned mobilisation comes amid heightened political activity in West Bengal, where competing narratives over recent protests and public demonstrations have become a major point of contention between political parties and social organisations.
Multiple Organisations to Participate
According to reports, BJP and several RSS-linked organisations active in the education and social sectors have decided to participate in the campaign. Student bodies, teachers’ organisations and other affiliated groups are expected to hold rallies, public meetings and awareness programmes across Kolkata and other districts.
The organisations have stated that the protests are aimed at highlighting concerns over violence, disruption of educational institutions and what they claim is an atmosphere of instability created during recent movements. They argue that democratic protests should remain peaceful and should not interfere with public life or educational activities.
Focus on Law and Order
BJP and RSS Organisers say the central theme of the campaign will be restoring law and order and ensuring that democratic rights are exercised responsibly. Speakers at the planned events are expected to raise issues relating to campus safety, public security and governance.
The protests are also likely to emphasise the need for stronger administrative action against incidents of violence and vandalism, while appealing for normal functioning of educational institutions and public services.
Leaders associated with the participating organisations believe that public outreach is necessary to communicate their concerns directly to citizens rather than limiting the debate to political platforms.
Political Context
The announcement comes at a time when West Bengal has witnessed intense political debates over student-led protests and demonstrations that have attracted nationwide attention. Different political parties have offered sharply contrasting interpretations of the ongoing movements.
While opposition groups have accused the authorities of failing to maintain law and order, supporters of the protests argue that public demonstrations remain an essential democratic right. The differing positions have further intensified political exchanges across the state.
Political observers note that the latest mobilisation reflects an attempt by organisations aligned with the Sangh Parivar to strengthen their public presence on issues concerning governance, education and public safety.
Educational Organisations Take Active Role
One notable aspect of the campaign is the participation of organisations connected with the education sector. Student groups, teachers’ associations and educational institutions linked to the BJP and RSS network have announced coordinated programmes to engage with students, parents and citizens.

The coordinated nature of the campaign indicates an effort to present a unified message across multiple platforms rather than relying solely on political rallies.
Opposition Narrative
BJP leaders and associated organisations have repeatedly argued that recent incidents demonstrate weaknesses in governance and administrative response. They contend that peaceful citizens and students should not be adversely affected by prolonged unrest.
BJP and RSS organisers have also indicated that the demonstrations are intended to encourage broader public participation and to draw attention to issues they believe require immediate government intervention.
The campaign is expected to include speeches, memoranda and symbolic demonstrations highlighting demands for stronger law enforcement and accountability.
Government and Political Reactions
As the protest plans gather momentum, political reactions are expected from various parties. The ruling establishment has previously defended its handling of law and order while accusing opposition parties of attempting to politicise public issues.
Political analysts believe the upcoming demonstrations could become another significant chapter in the continuing political contest in West Bengal, with both sides seeking to influence public opinion through competing narratives.
Security arrangements are also expected to be strengthened in Kolkata to ensure that the planned marches proceed peacefully and without disruption.
Looking Ahead
The consecutive protest programmes are likely to keep political temperatures high in the state over the coming days. Whether the demonstrations succeed in expanding public support or intensifying political debate will become clearer after the events unfold.
With organisations linked to the BJP and RSS coordinating their efforts across different sectors, the campaign is expected to remain focused on issues of governance, public order and the functioning of educational institutions. At the same time, the developments are likely to trigger fresh political exchanges between the ruling dispensation and the opposition, ensuring that law and order remains a central issue in West Bengal’s political discourse in the days ahead.
