“We are well aware of terms like ‘buddhi jeevi’ and shram jeevi’ but I am seeing from some time that a new community ‘Andolan jeevi’ has come up in the country. This community can be spotted wherever there is a protest, be it the agitation by lawyers, students or labourers. They can sometimes be seen at the forefront and sometimes behind,” Prime Minister Modi told the Rajya Sabha.

“They cannot live without protests. We need to identify such people and protect the nation from them. They are parasites,” he added while replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address.
