Bhavnagar: A heart-touching moment was captured during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Gujarat on Saturday. During a public meeting in Bhavnagar, an emotional incident unfolded.
A child sitting in the crowd was holding a sketch of PM Modi. The Prime Minister noticed the child holding the portrait and asked the organisers to collect it from him. A security personnel then approached and took the sketch. PM Modi's gesture moved the child deeply and he burst into tears.
PM Modi also conveyed that if the child had written his address on the sketch, he would send him a letter in return.
"A little boy has brought a picture for me and has been standing here for a long time; his hands must be tired. Someone please collect it," PM Modi said.
When the kid started crying PM Modi said,"There’s no need to cry, your picture has reached me. If you’ve written your address, I will surely write a letter to you.”
PM Modi, while addressing the crowd, said that the love of young children is the greatest treasure in life.
