NEW DELHI: Among all his family members, Prime Minister Narendra Modi seemed closest to his mother Heeraben who passed away on Friday in her 100th year. He not just follows her ideals and principles but his government’s flagship schemes also draw inspiration from her.
On June 18, Heeraben’s 100th birthday, Modi wrote a blog titled ‘Mother’. In it, he wrote, “In my Mother’s life story, I see the penance, sacrifice and contribution of India’s matrushakti. Whenever I look at Mother and crores of women like her, I find there is nothing that is unachievable for Indian women.”
