New Delhi : BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has reacted to the controversy surrounding a 15-year-old girl, identified as Ruchika Singh, whose video allegedly showing her using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Jantar Mantar went viral on social media.
The incident has sparked widespread political debate after authorities reportedly initiated action against individuals involved in the protest. Following the controversy, the minor issued a public apology for her remarks.
Viral Video Triggers Controversy
A video circulating on social media allegedly showed Ruchika Singh using offensive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest organized at Jantar Mantar.
According to reports, the protest also featured posters critical of the Prime Minister, prompting police action against some participants. The girl was reportedly taken into custody for questioning before being released in accordance with legal procedures applicable to minors.
Later, Ruchika posted a video apologizing to the public for the language she had used.
Kangana Ranaut Shares Instagram Statement
Reacting to the incident through her Instagram Stories, Kangana Ranaut expressed concern over what she described as the influence of certain ideological groups on young people.
Sharing a photograph of the minor, Kangana wrote that the girl herself had claimed she had never previously posted offensive content against the Prime Minister on social media and had accompanied friends to the protest.
Kangana alleged that the teenager had been influenced into using abusive language and urged parents to remain vigilant about the influences affecting children and teenagers.
She also stated that society must work together to protect young people from what she described as ideological manipulation.
Response to Viral Clip About Herself
Kangana also responded to another video circulating online in which critics compared the incident with an old clip featuring her.
She argued that the clip being shared was from a film performance for which she was professionally hired as an actor and should not be equated with real-life conduct.
The BJP MP said that taking scenes from fictional performances out of context to justify or compare unrelated incidents was misleading.

- Freedom of expression
- The participation of minors in political protests
- Accountability for offensive public remarks
- The role of social media in influencing young people
Supporters of the government’s action argue that abusive language directed at constitutional authorities should not be encouraged, while others have stressed that minors should be treated with sensitivity and in accordance with juvenile protection laws.
