Rakesh Tikait, the voice of the “farmer protests”, has crossed a line that should alarm every citizen of India. In a disturbing escalation, Tikait openly threatened the Modi government, drawing dangerous parallels between India and the current turmoil in Bangladesh—a comparison that is not only devious but also incites a mob mentality that could have catastrophic consequences.
Rakesh Tikait is planning Bangladesh type coup in India.
The question is will govt do anything about it?

“Situation like Bangladesh will be there in India too”
With this ominous statement, Tikait has sent a chilling message that could stoke unrest across the country. By evoking the chaos in Bangladesh—a nation where political instability led to the fleeing of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the subsequent ethnic cleansing of Hindus—Tikait is playing with fire. This is not just rhetoric; it’s a call to arms, one that could push India towards a similar abyss.
The situation in Bangladesh post-Hasina’s departure is a grim reminder of what happens when mob rule takes over. Hindu communities have faced horrific violence, with homes destroyed, temples desecrated, and lives lost in an ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign. By suggesting that India could face a similar fate, Tikait is not just criticizing the government—he’s actively inciting a potential disaster.
A Dangerous Admission: “We made one mistake…”
Tikait’s reflection on the farmers’ protest—where he regretfully admits they should have stormed Parliament instead of the Red Fort—is a clear indication of his willingness to endorse violence as a means to achieve political ends. “If 25 lakh farmers had gone to Parliament instead of Red Fort, then this work would have been done on that day itself,” he said. This is nothing short of a rallying cry for anarchy, a suggestion that violence and intimidation are valid tools in a democracy.
This statement is not just reckless; it’s a direct incitement to violence. Tikait is urging his supporters to consider more aggressive tactics, risking a situation where mob mentality could lead to widespread violence and chaos, much like the current plight of Hindus in Bangladesh.
Defending the Indefensible: “Why are they highlighting Kolkata case?”
Tikait’s attempt to deflect attention from a serious case in Kolkata by calling it a “conspiracy against Bengal Govt” only further exposes his agenda. His claim that propaganda is being run against the West Bengal government is a desperate attempt to shield those in power from accountability, even when innocent lives are at stake. By aligning himself with the Bengal government in this manner, Tikait is not only undermining justice but also fueling division.
Recipe for Disaster Rakesh Tikait
Rakesh Tikait’s recent statements are not just political posturing. They are a dangerous incitement to mob rule. By drawing comparisons to the horrific situation in Bangladesh, he is risking the very fabric of India’s social harmony. The ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Bangladesh is a dark chapter that should serve as a warning, not a blueprint for unrest.
The Modi government, and indeed all responsible citizens, must condemn Tikait’s remarks in the strongest terms. If left unchecked, his rhetoric could unleash a wave of violence that would threaten the safety and security of every Indian, much like the tragic fate of Hindus in Bangladesh.
