Some gaali is okay, they're frustrated: Sam Pitroda on Gen Z protesters abusing PM

Sam Pitroda, chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, defends young protesters in Delhi who used abusive language toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a student-led demonstration. He argues that such behavior stems from frustration rather than malice, emphasizing the importance of listening to youth voices. Pitroda compares the situation to heavy rain bringing mud, suggesting that while verbal abuse is unacceptable, it reflects deeper societal issues. He criticizes the government's labeling of critics as 'dimagi Naxal' (mindless Maoist), asserting that advocating for marginalized groups does not equate to extremism. Modi himself has expressed forgiveness toward students who used abusive language.
