Prime Minister Narendra Modi forgives 15‑year‑old who shouted abusive slogans

A 15‑year‑old girl from Noida appeared in a viral video from a Jantar Mantar protest in Delhi, using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After the incident, Modi posted a video urging forgiveness for “misguided children” and said they should be guided rather than punished. The teenager later released an apology video, saying she felt she had been given a “new life” and thanked the prime minister for his mercy. Her mother publicly thanked Modi, describing the forgiveness as a “new birth” for her daughter. BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut also reacted on social media, criticizing those who incite youngsters and calling for protection of youth from “misleading influences.” The episode sparked widespread discussion on youth protest, online harassment, and the tone of political communication, with Modi addressing the nation in a more informal style aimed at the digital generation.
