From reporting

How it's framed (4)›

Playing on emotion - Repeated use of heartbreak emoji, 'my heart is broken', 'I can’t imagine how tough', sad face and heart emojis to evoke sympathy for Modi

Identity pressure / generational shaming - Direct address 'Dear Gen Z' combined with 'you will never get such a supportive Prime Minister ever again' to pressure respect and shame the group for the actions of some protesters

Selective attribution - Presents a quote as directly said by 'Modi Ji' about personal abuse and forgiveness, paired with image of Modi and a smiling young woman (likely the protester/apologizer), implying she and Gen Z are responsible

Angry wording - Terms like 'so-called Gen Z', 'abused', 'late mother' to heighten emotional impact
