Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was subjected to vile abuses and extremely offensive and derogatory language by protesters at the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protests at Jantar Mantar, has forgiven them. PM Modi posted a video message on Instagram on Friday (31st July) expressing concern over the filthy slurs hurled by the protesters at him and his late mother. However, he said that he gives “the misguided children” and urged people to guide them on the right path.
“What happened in Jantar Mantar, the country and the world witnessed it. Some mischievous children used abusive language that doesn’t dignify any civilised society. They not only abused me but even my late mother,” PM Modi said.
He added that kind of expletives uttered by the young protesters, particularly girls, gave a cultural shock to the entire society. “I understand the anger in our society. There is a cultural shock about our daughters using such language,” the Prime Minister said.
“Sometimes our tongue comes under our teeth and blood comes out, but we do not break our teeth—because the teeth are ours, and the tongue is ours too. The children are also ours,” he said.
However, he forgave the protesters, saying that those were young people who should be given a chance to learn from their mistakes. He also appealed to the society at large to forgive them and give them an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. “This is the time to hug them and show them the right path…I want to forgive them,” he said.
“These are misguided children, and showing them the way is our duty; we will not be able to change circumstances by punishing them, making them run around the courts, or harassing them in society,” he added. “Children, come, let us move forward together for the country. Let us learn something new, let us learn even from mistakes… I live for you, I toil for your bright future, so come, let us together take the country forward,” PM Modi said, concluding his message.
PM Modi’s video message comes after a zero FIR was filed in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, against a 25-year-old woman, Ruchika Singh, for using expletives against him at the Jantar Mantar protests on 25th July.
