The reel's central claim is supported: PM Narendra Modi said that they abused him and even abused his late mother at Jantar Mantar but he wants to forgive them, does not want to file any FIR against them or destroy their careers (time: recent) (place: Jantar Mantar)
Why we say that›
PM Modi did say he wants to forgive students who abused him and his late mother at Jantar Mantar protest.
Modi's statements on forgiving the students without FIR or career damage are directly supported by multiple news reports from January 2026. The Gen Z reference and age are also accurate in context.
