It’s not just an invasion of my privacy but also a grave security threat for me and my family. If anti-social elements attack me at my residence as a result of this, these YouTubers and their troll handlers who are coordinating this will be directly responsible."

Political Reactions And Backlash
Family members were inside when the trespass occurred. CJP Spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka confirmed this detail.
Ranka told reporters in Maharashtra: "We will not get scared...This is their classic playbook, where they first try to crush you and suppress a movement. When they were not able to do that, they slung mud at us. When people rejected this, they tried to spread violence...A hate campaign is being run against him [Das]...By doing these things, you are losing whatever respect you had."
Aam Aadmi Party national convener and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condemned the incident on X. He said "this is the real face of Modi".
