Gen Z Protests Spark Abuse Row Against Modi

A video of a Noida woman using abusive language against Prime Minister Modi during a Generation Z protest triggered a political firestorm, with the BJP accusing the protesters of being 'sponsored' and calling their behaviour an attack on Hindu society.

Police transferred the case to Delhi, while Modi himself said the students who abused him and his late mother should be guided rather than punished.

The protests, which had already forced the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, continued to rattle the political establishment.

In Nepal, a parallel Gen Z movement leader declared her generation the 'best opposition' to the new government.
