Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding the recent Gen Z protests, reacting to the self-styled Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and backing criticism over the alleged use of abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The actor described some protesters as "cockroaches" and alleged that they did not represent genuine students.

His comments come days after actress-politician Kangana Ranaut sparked a row by referring to some protesters as "gutter chhaap" and condemning the language used during the demonstrations and on social media.
