A jewellery shop in Surat is churning out rakhis bearing the likeness of PM Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath and Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani.
A customer told ANI: “By tying this Narendra Modi rakhi I would bless my brother to do something great like Prime Minister Modi.”
The shop made 50 such Rakhis and and has already sold 47 of them. The owner said: “Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Gujarat Chief Minister and the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister have done very good work for our country and they inspire millions across the world.”
Each of the Rakhis are priced between Rs 50,000 and Rs 70,000. Earlier, continuing with their annual ritual, members of the Muslim Women Foundation (MWF) in Varanasi are making rakhis for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan which falls on Sunday.
Nazima Ansari, one of the MWF members said, ‘The Muslim women from our foundation living in Banaras (also known as Varanasi) had first sent rakhi to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji in 2013. Since then, this ritual has been continuing."
Ansari said that the women at the MWF consider him as an elder brother and father-like figure. She said, "We consider Narendra Modi-ji as an elder brother and father-like figure. Hence, like every year, we are sending him rakhi this year too with a hope that he would continue to protect us and help us at the time of need."
Supplementing Ansari's point of view, another woman of the foundation Shabana Fatima said, "We seek Prime Minister Modi's help to protect us from atrocities we face in our own house and society. Moreover, we hope he would get us freedom from malpractices like Triple Talaq."
