Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated that he wants to forgive student protesters who hurled insults and abused him during demonstrations last month, arguing that these misled children need to be shown the right path rather than repeatedly forced to appear in court for punishment.
The protests, referred to as the Cockroach protests, drew harsh insults against the prime minister. While Modi has urged mercy over punishment for the students involved, the aftermath has also seen his supporters dox and abuse the protesters on social media.
