PM Modi Responds To Viral 'Abusive Girl' At Jantar Mantar Protest, Says 'Cultural Shock' | Breaking

Overview

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a viral incident from the Jantar Mantar protest involving alleged use of abusive or obscene language by a girl. He said the incident was widely viewed across India and internationally, and emphasized that such language does not belong in a civilized society.

“Cultural Shock” and Guidance Over Punishment

Modi described the episode as a “cultural shock” and focused on how mistakes can occur during childhood. Instead of advocating punishment, he argued that children should be corrected and guided, describing them as “misguided” but still part of society.

He criticized responses such as:

• Harassing children publicly
• Forcing matters through courts

According to him, these approaches would not address the underlying issue.

Forgiveness and Shared Responsibility

Modi called for forgiveness and urged society to take responsibility for helping children get on the right path. He used a metaphor about language and injury—highlighting that the tongue and teeth belong to the same person—to stress that children must be addressed constructively.

Message to the Children and Future Outlook

He urged the children to learn from their mistakes, move forward, and work toward a better future for themselves and the country, expressing optimism about India’s progress.
