On Friday, August 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed for restraint and forgiveness after abusive slogans directed at him during 'student' protests over alleged paper leaks at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. He said that "abuses never solve anything" and urged society to guide, rather than punish, those who had gone astray.

"What happened at Jantar Mantar has been seen by the country and the world," PM Modi said. "Some misguided youngsters used language that has no place in any civilised society. I was abused, and even my late mother was abused."
In the video making the rounds on social media, Ruchika Singh can be seen using derogatory language against PM Modi. She could also be seen dragging the name of the Italian PM and unnecessarily linking it to PM Modi. Despite the remarks, PM Modi said he did not believe the answer lay in anger or retaliation. Instead, he described the protesters as young people capable of learning from their mistakes.
"Mistakes are made in childhood, and childhood also provides an opportunity to correct those mistakes. That is what being young is about," he said in the video. "There is anger in society, and I understand that. But now is the time to embrace these children and show them the right path. They are misguided children. It is our duty to show them the way. Punishing them, dragging them through courts and harassing them will not change the circumstances."
The Prime Minister said he wanted to forgive those responsible and appealed to society to do the same. "I want to forgive them. I request society also to accept what I am saying," he said. "Abuses never solve anything. Let us guide those who have lost their way. Let us work together. Let us work for Bharat."
The incident stems from the 'student-led' CJP agitation over the NEET paper leak and examination irregularities at Jantar Mantar, which concluded on July 25 after 36 days of protests, police standoffs and resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The movement ended after the Centre accepted all the key demands of the party.
This is after the Delhi police launched a massive hunt to identify all those 'students' who created chaos, abused PM Modi and also vandalized public property during the 'student' protest at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.
"What happened at Jantar Mantar has been seen by the country and the world," PM Modi said. "Some misguided youngsters used language that has no place in any civilised society. I was abused, and even my late mother was abused."
This is specifically a day after a Zero FIR was filed at 6:19 pm against a woman from Noida for hurling abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The complaint was registered at Noida's Expressway Police Station, based on a complaint submitted by Smriti Singh Chandel, a lawyer based in Ghaziabad. As per the FIR, the accused has been named as Ruchika Singh.
