Another late-night video shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sparked widespread discussion online, with social media flooded with reactions. In the video, Modi addressed the student protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and said he forgives the young people who allegedly abused him during the demonstrations, describing them as “misguided children” who should be guided onto the right path.
Referring to a viral clip from the protest in which a Noida woman was allegedly seen using abusive language against him, PM Modi said, “It’s a cultural shock to see our daughters using such abusive words.” He added that while such behaviour was unfortunate, the youngsters deserved forgiveness and proper guidance rather than hatred.
Among those who reacted was singer and music composer Vishal Dadlani, who
has openly supported the student movement since the protests began. Sharing a video on social media, the muscian began with a sarcastic remark, saying, “Hello frands, aaj mera mann kar raha hai aapse lambi lambi… baatein karu.”
He then questioned why the national conversation had shifted towards abusive language instead of the issues raised by students. In a strongly worded statement, Vishal Dadlani said, “Tear gas barsa to kya hua, laathiyan padi to kya hua, goliyan padi to kya hua, pellet gun chale to kya hua… lekin gaali? Desh ka yuva agar gaali de, to desh ke sanskaar kahaan ja rahe hain?” He also alleged that students had faced force, FIRs and intimidation for raising their voices.
The singer further argued that public outrage should instead focus on the alleged examination irregularities.
