PM Modi’s Message: PM Modi Appeals for Compassion, Forgives ‘Misguided’ Students in Fifth Video Message

Prime Minister Narendra Modi released his fifth video message in nine days, addressing India's youth and urging society to guide rather than punish students involved in recent protests. Referring to incidents in which some protesters allegedly used abusive language against him and his late mother, the Prime Minister said that while such behaviour was unacceptable, he wished to forgive the "misguided" children. He appealed to society to help them return to the right path instead of subjecting them to harassment or prolonged legal action. Comparing children to both the tongue and teeth, he said that mistakes made in youth should become opportunities for learning and growth. Modi encouraged young people to learn from their errors, focus on their dreams, and contribute to nation-building. The message is part of a series of videos released after the student movement, covering issues such as paper leak reforms, new legislation, and youth participation. According to the figures cited in the report, the five videos collectively received around 980 million views, over 60 million likes, and more than four million comments.
