Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother is celebrating her 100th birthday on Saturday. On this day PM Modi has written a blog remembering his mother and his childhood. In this blog, PM has mentioned about his childhood Muslim friend Abbas.
Who is Abbas- Abbas is the son of a friend of PM Modi’s father. When his father passed away, Abbas grew up with Modi. Abbas stayed at Modi’s house and spent his childhood there. Remembering Abbas in his blog, the PM says that his mother used to make different types of dishes for Abbas on Eid. He wrote- “Mother used to find happiness in the happiness of others. Our house may have been small, but it was very big hearted. A close friend of my father lived in a nearby village. After his untimely death, my father brought his friend’s son Abbas to his house. He stayed with us and completed his studies.”
Referring to Eid- PM further wrote that his mother was as affectionate towards Abbas as she had with her children. The PM wrote- “Every year on Eid, she used to cook his favorite dishes. On festivals, it was common for the neighborhood kids to come to our house and enjoy the special preparations made by the mother”.
PM Modi has written in his blog that his mother had special affection for the sadhus too. Whenever a monk came near his house, his mother would affectionately call him and feed him.
