The mother of a teenage girl who used abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest has appealed for stricter control of social media use by minors.
She said children should spend their time studying instead of joining protests or getting influenced online.
Thanking the Prime Minister for forgiving her daughter, she described his decision as an act of kindness that gave the family relief.
She also requested the withdrawal of the police case against her daughter and urged parents to guide their children more carefully.
According to her, unrestricted access to social media can negatively affect young minds and encourage irresponsible behaviour.
She believes parents should monitor children's online activities and ensure they stay focused on their education.
The Prime Minister had earlier appealed for compassion, saying that punishing young protesters would not solve the problem and that they should instead be guided in the right direction.
The incident has sparked discussion on the role of parents, social media, and responsible behaviour among teenagers.
