‘Abuses never solve anything, let’s guide the misguided’: PM Modi on Jantar Mantar protests
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed recent protests regarding NEET examination irregularities, urging youth to avoid abusive language. He emphasized a message of forgiveness and guidance rather than punitive measures for the protesting students.
Why it matters
This reflects the government's attempt to manage public dissent and youth engagement following high-stakes educational controversies.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (July 31, 2026) reached out to Gen Z and said that abuse is not a solution to anything. He posted the video message on X in which he was talking about the July 20 Jantar Mantar protest against irregularities in NEET examination paper.
“I can understand the anguish prevailing in society, but this is the time to embrace our youth and guide them on the right path,” the Prime Minister said. “These are misguided children; punishing them or making them go through court proceedings will not solve the problem,” he added.
