Narendra Modi forgives youths over Jantar Mantar abuse, urges guidance FAST-MOVING

Narendra Modi Jantar Mantar protest youth forgiveness NEET paper leak social guidance

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a video on Instagram on July 31, addressing the recent Jantar Mantar protest that erupted over alleged NEET examination paper leaks. During the demonstrations, some young participants used abusive language against Modi and his late mother, a fact Modi said was witnessed by the whole country and the world.

In the video, Modi said he forgives the “misguided children” and argued that abuses never solve anything. He called on society to guide rather than punish these youths, using an analogy of a tongue caught between the teeth that may bleed but does not break the teeth. He urged the young people to learn from their mistakes, move forward together for the nation, and emphasized that childhood is a time for correction, not harsh legal action.

Opposition parties criticised the response, accusing Modi of “forgiving the country,” while supporters praised the compassionate stance. The message sparked a broad public debate about youth protest, free speech, and the appropriate governmental reaction.
