Youth leaders have demanded an immediate and unconditional public apology from former BJP MP Narendra Sawaikar over his controversial “termites” remark, warning that they will stage a peaceful march to his residence if he fails to apologise.
In a strongly worded statement, the group said referring to the country’s youth as “termites” was “disgraceful and completely unacceptable,” asserting that young people are the nation’s strength, hope and future and deserve respect rather than insults.

“We will not remain silent when the dignity of our youth is attacked,” the statement said, reiterating that the proposed demonstration would be conducted peacefully while registering strong opposition to the controversial remarks.
