India PM Modi says he forgives protesters who abused him

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed a desire to 'forgive' protesters who insulted him during recent youth-led demonstrations that challenged his government. The protests, organized by the online group Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), initially focused on examination paper leaks but expanded into broader frustrations over unemployment and governance, leading to the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Some protesters who appeared in viral videos insulting Modi have faced backlash from his supporters and police complaints. Authorities have requested social media platforms like Meta and X to remove what they consider abusive and manipulated content. Modi emphasized addressing youthful mistakes through guidance rather than legal action and has increasingly used Instagram, a platform popular among the CJP, to engage with young people.
