“‘I’m Only 15, Please Forgive Me’: Teen Apologises After Viral Protest Video Against PM Modi”
New Delhi: A teenage girl, who was booked for allegedly using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a student protest, has issued a public apology, saying she deeply regrets her actions and asking the nation for forgiveness.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the girl appears with folded hands, admitting that she made inappropriate remarks against the Prime Minister after being influenced by others present at the protest. She says she now realises her mistake and feels ashamed of what happened.
Claiming that she is only 15 years old, the girl says the incident was the biggest mistake of her life. “I am just 15 years old. What I did cannot be justified. I spoke many hurtful words against the Prime Minister, and I sincerely apologise to the entire country. This is my first and last mistake. Please forgive me,” she says in the video.
The apology comes days after a complaint was filed against her over the remarks made during a student protest. Although the FIR reportedly mentioned her age as 25, the girl insists in the video that she is a minor. The authenticity of the apology video has not been independently verified.
Following the complaint, Noida Police registered a Zero FIR before transferring the case to Parliament Street Police Station in New Delhi for further investigation. The complainant alleged that the girl’s remarks insulted the dignity of the Prime Minister’s office and had the potential to create social unrest.
The apology surfaced shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a video message addressing the controversy. Rather than calling for strict punishment, the Prime Minister appealed for compassion, saying abusive language should not be met with anger or revenge.
Referring to the students involved as “misguided youngsters,” PM Modi said that while their words were unacceptable, they should be guided instead of being dragged into prolonged legal battles. He acknowledged the anger among people but urged society to help young individuals correct their mistakes instead of pushing them further away.
“Mistakes happen in youth, and youth also offers the opportunity to learn from them,” the Prime Minister said, adding that he personally wanted to forgive those responsible and appealed to the public to do the same.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media about freedom of expression, accountability, and how society should respond when young people make serious mistakes in the heat of protests. While legal proceedings continue, the apology and the Prime Minister’s call for forgiveness have added a new dimension to the ongoing debate.
