New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that abuse and hatred never solve anything. He appealed for compassion toward misguided youth who have gone astray, saying they should be guided onto the right path in the spirit of nation-building and national interest, rather than punished.
In a video message posted on his social media handles, the Prime Minister referred to the recent incident at Jantar Mantar in the National Capital, where abusive language was used against him and his late mother.
PM Modi said, "Abuses never solve anything. Let's guide the misguided. Let's work together. Let's work for Bharat."
He said the episode had been witnessed by people across the country and the world, adding that while the anger and disappointment in society over such conduct were understandable, childhood is also a phase of learning, making mistakes and correcting them.
Modi said, instead of dragging such youngsters through court proceedings or subjecting them to social harassment, society should embrace them and show them the right path. He said he wished to forgive the children involved and appealed to people to accept the same spirit of compassion and understanding.
