Yes, in the sense that all protests should be held to the same standard by the government regardless of legimatcy. As in you can absolutely be against a portest that you don't agree with and deem illegitimate. But, the government does not get to decide what cause is "legitimate" to forbid a group from doing what they encouraged another group to do. The point of protesting is to protest against those in power, not to show how much you agree with them

> The obvious reason being that the government in question is democratically elected and the ones that (probably) fall into “countries we don’t like” aren’t democratically elected?

I mean India is the world's largest democracy, so clearly that's not the obvious reason.

> Are you under the impression that all protests are of equivalent legitimacy no matter what tactics they use, what their demands are, and what their non-protest alternatives are?

That doesn't justify freezing a person's bank account.
