Prime Minister Narendra Modi has released a video on Instagram saying that he has forgiven students who used abusive language against him. Reacting to this, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke questioned whether the government would also withdraw cases registered against protesters.
Commenting on PM Modi’s video, Dipke asked whether he would forgive them only through a reel or also withdraw the cases. PM Modi has used Instagram for the fifth time in a week. He is using the platform to connect with young people.
What did PM Modi say in the video?
In his latest video, PM Modi spoke about viral videos in which offensive remarks were made against him. He said some young people used abusive language, which is not acceptable in a civilised society. He said he was personally targeted with abuses and that his late mother was also attacked.
The Prime Minister further said that abusing someone does not solve any problem. He said punishing the students, involving them in court proceedings, or troubling them would not change the situation. He said he wanted to forgive them and guide misguided youngsters towards the right path.
Case filed against a Noida student
The video came at a time when a case had been registered against a minor student from Noida for allegedly making abusive remarks against PM Modi during a student protest at Jantar Mantar. The protest had continued for weeks over exam paper leaks and irregularities in the education system, following which Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.
