We must think seriously about this,\u201d he said in a post on X, sharing a video of himself at an event.The protests have also produced a series of rhyming slogans that have spread across social media, including, \u201cEk kachori, do samosa, in mardon ka kya bharosa,\u201d \u201c1 jeera, 2 ajwain, mard samaj do resign\u201d and \u201cThandi chai garam karo, mard jaat sharam karo.\u201dThe slogans, which have circulated widely through Instagram, X and other platforms, have become part of the online vocabulary around the protests.
