Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is in West Bengal today for the election campaign got a special gift from his supporters on Mother's Day. A couple of individuals who were attending the PM's rally in Hoogly gifted him a portrait of PM with his late mother Heeraben Patel. PM Modi expressed his gratitude and requested the SPG commandos to collect the portraits from them.
"The people in the rally are here made the picture of my mother. The people in 'West' celebrate this day as Mother's Day , but in India, we worship our Mother, Ma Durga, Ma Kaali and Bharat Mata, 365 days a year. I request SPG commandos to collect the pictures. Please mention your addresses at the back of the paper. SPG people take photos of my mother from both people. I want to thank both of you," PM Modi said.
Mother's Day annually falls on the second Sunday of May. This year, it is being celebrated on May 12. Mother's Day honours mothers and mother figures around the globe.
Meanwhile, addressing an election rally at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas district, PM Modi alleged that under the TMC rule, Hindus have turned into second-class citizens in the state and asserted that as long as Modi is there, no one can repeal the CAA law. All of us have seen what the TMC has done with the sisters and mothers of Sandeshkhali. The TMC goons are now threatening the women in Sandeshkhali as the name of the main culprit is Shajahan Sheikh. TMC is doing everything to protect the culprits of Sandeshkhali,he said.
His remarks come in the backdrop of multiple purported videos surfacing on social media, which claimed that a local BJP party leader made several women of Sandeshkhali sign on blank papers which were later filled up as complaints of sexual assault against TMC leaders.
