Moments When CJP & Congress Claimed 'Peaceful Protest' With Threats And Warnings Of Chaos

CJP and Congress leaders repeatedly claimed that their protests would remain peaceful. They invoked Mahatma Gandhi, promised non-violence, and stated that “our hands will not be raised” under any circumstances.

However, the same leaders also issued strong warnings. They warned of serious consequences if the government used force, drew inspiration from Bangladesh’s regime-change movement, and called for organised action that could force police and army resignations, statements that stood in clear contrast to their public assurances of peace.
