Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shown remarkable compassion by forgiving a 15-year-old girl who abused him during protests, according to her mother. She described his act as a gift of "jeevandan" (new life), expressing gratitude for his understanding.
The girl, identified as Ruchika Singh, publicly apologized in a viral video, stating, "I am so ashamed. I can't even look at myself. Please forgive me." Her mother emphasized the need for the FIR against her daughter to be dropped, citing inaccuracies in the complaint regarding her name and age.34
In her emotional plea, the mother stated, "How can we say we are ashamed? We are aware of our mistake. I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, please remove the FIR filed against her under the wrong name and age, so she could live in peace." She also urged for stricter regulations on social media for minors, suggesting that platforms like Instagram and Facebook should be restricted for children under 18 to prevent them from being misled.9
Modi had previously called for restraint and forgiveness, stating, "They are misguided children. It is our duty to show them the way. Punishing them and dragging them through courts will not change the circumstances." His appeal for understanding reflects a broader societal concern about the influence of social media on youth.56
The incident has sparked discussions about the responsibilities of social media platforms and the need for parental guidance in the digital age.
“The 15-year-old said she had used "bad words" under others' influence and called it her "first and last mistake." Her mother also asked PM Modi to drop the Zero FIR — filed against Ruchika Singh, 25, with what she said was a wrong name and age — and urged banning Instagram and Facebook for children under 18.”
