Hours after he was learnt to have asked his fellow Parliamentarians to utilise Instagram for public outreach on social media platform Instagram — considered Gen Z’s preferred platform— Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the lead in this regard by expressing gratitude to his followers for suggestions which had been sent his way via a (video) reel on his late-night address to the nation a day earlier.

PM Modi thanked his “friends” for the suggestions that had been recorded as comments in his late-night address on Thursday, even as his social media activity on Instagram appeared to have become more frequent.

Prior to his announcement regarding the BJP-led NDA government’s resolve to bring in a tougher law against exam paper leaks, his account on the platform had only related his post on X regarding the setting up of fast track courts against the issue from Tuesday.

Prior to this, the PM’s last post consisted of a clip from P.V Sindhu’s victory in the badminton Japan Open, the first Indian to achieve this feat, on July 19.
