Late night on Friday, Prime Minister Modi himself addressed the abuse directed at him. Another protester, Ruchika Singh, 15, is facing the wrath of the criminal justice system. Several videos from Jantar Mantar show her using expletives as she talks about Prime Minister Modi – just like countless other protesters did. Smriti Singh told Scroll that Ruchika Singh had not only defamed the prime minister but also the country. In this case, Modi should have filed the defamation complaint himself since Ruchika Singh’s statements were directed at him.
