As a leader, he should stop being diplomatic.
He is now outside the system. Call a spade a spade. Call out the COAS while defending the jawans. Call out ALL treachery, all unaccountable deep state mechanisms, everything. Go on the offensive.
The people can't do anything unless it is organized and concentrated around something. Time heals, new news takes over, something is created here or there to distract and build sympathy and it's all over.
It's up to IK if he's just another politician or a revolutionary leader.
