𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏 (𝐖𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for compassion and understanding towards misguided youth, saying that abuse and hatred never solve problems and urging society to guide them instead of punishing them.

Referring to the recent incident at Jantar Mantar, the Prime Minister said the country and the world witnessed abusive language directed at him and even his late mother. While acknowledging that such conduct had angered many people, he said childhood and youth are periods when mistakes can be made and there is always an opportunity to learn and reform.

Modi said that instead of dragging such misguided children through courts or subjecting them to social harassment, society should embrace them and help them find the right path. He added that he wanted to forgive them and appealed to the public to support that spirit of forgiveness.

Calling upon the youth to move forward together for the nation, the Prime Minister encouraged them to learn from their mistakes and pursue their dreams. He said India is progressing rapidly and expressed hope that every young person would also move forward in life.

Sharing a video message, Modi reiterated, "Abuses never solve anything. Let's guide the misguided. Let's work together. Let's work for Bharat."
