Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Pakistani sister has sent him a Rakhi to make Raksha Bandhan memorable this year.
Qamar Mohsin Shaikh is from Pakistan but settled in Ahmedabad after marriage. It would be her 25th Raksha Bandhan with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Since she would not be able to meet Modi due to the COVID-19 crisis, she sent Rakhi via post.
“We have known PM Modi for the past 30-35 years. when I met him in Delhi for the first time he got to know that I am from Karachi and have been married here he called me behen (sister). I do not have a brother. So, after two to three years when we again visited Delhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, I tied rakhi on his wrist,” she told ANI
“Once on Raksha Bandhan, I told him that I will pray for you that you come to Gujarat and become the Chief Minister. At that time he laughed and later when he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat. On Rakshabandhan, I told him that my prayers have been accepted by God. Later, he even became the Prime Minister,” she added.
She said she wanted to tie the 25th rakhi to Prime Minister personally but due to the COVID-19 crisis, she won’t be able to. “Everyone is facing problems. I pray that the next five years go well for him and that the whole world recognizes the positive decisions he took. I pray for his long life,” she said.
