Teen Apologizes for Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi; PM Forgives and Calls for Guidance
A teenage girl apologized publicly after making abusive remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. The girl, claiming to be 15, said she was influenced by others at the protest. PM Modi responded by urging society to guide misguided children rather than punish them and forgave the girl. Her mother thanked Modi for his compassion, appealing for the FIR against her daughter to be withdrawn and calling for protections against minors' involvement in protests and social media. Meanwhile, the girl and other women protesters have faced threats and ongoing police scrutiny, sparking debate over legal actions and social responses.
