NEW DELHI: Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has reacted to the controversy over a teenage girl’s apology after she allegedly used abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.Sharing a screenshot from the girl’s apology video on Instagram, Ranaut accused “leftist” and “feminist” groups of influencing young people and urged parents to protect their children. Her remarks came as the controversy continued to escalate, with FIRs, political reactions and calls for leniency dominating the debate.Ranaut reposted the teenager’s image on her Instagram Story and wrote, “She is hardly 15, yeh khud bol rahi hai she never posted anything against Modi ji in her whole life but that day her friends took her there and people instigated her to abuse, aap apne bachchon ko evil feminazi and demonic leftists se bachao.” “We need to protect our children from them. Khud notice karo ek bhi scarf/burkha wali beti ne bhonda pardarshan nahi kiya but our daughters are easily manipulated, aisa kyu? we as a community are failing somewhere, We must introspect , we must protect our daughters,” she added further.The comments came after the teenage girl posted an apology video on social media, which has since gone viral.According to earlier reports, the Noida Police registered an FIR against the teenager for allegedly making objectionable remarks about the Prime Minister during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest over the NEET paper leak.As FIRs were filed, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke warned that the protests would resume if the cases against students were not withdrawn.Speaking to reporters, Dipke said, “We will continue our protests if the FIRs against students are not withdrawn. If needed, the next protest will be even bigger.”Prime Minister Narendra Modi also addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, acknowledging the public anger over the language used during the protest while appealing for guidance rather than punishment.
