“What happened in Jantar Mantar, the country and the world witnessed it. Some mischievous children used abusive language that doesn’t dignify any civilised society. They not only abused me but even my late mother,” Mr. Modi said in a video posted on his X and Instagram handles.
The Prime Minister said one could make an error of judgment during one’s youth but such mistakes could also be corrected. “I understand the anger in our society. There is a cultural shock about our daughters using such language. This is the time to hug them and show them the right path…I want to forgive them,” Mr. Modi said.
Suspected terrorists shot dead a migrant worker and injured another in a targeted attack in south Kashmir’s Kulgam on Friday evening (July 31, 2026). It is the second targeted attack in the region since July 22, 2026.
