New Delhi: Qamar Mohsin Sheikh, also known as Narendra Modi’s Rakhi sister of Pakistani origin, will visit New Delhi to tie a rakhi to the Prime Minister on the occasion of this Raksha Bandhan. Sheikh has been sending a Rakhi to Modi every year for the past 30 years. She moved to Ahmedabad after her marriage.

She was unable to visit the Prime Minister for the last couple of years due to the pandemic but continued the tradition by sending him homemade ‘rakhis’ by post. Last year too, she sent the sacred thread to PM Modi and wished him for the 2024 general election. This year, she is hopeful of meeting the PM in person and celebrating the festival together. She also plans to gift him a book on agriculture, considering his fondness for reading.

“This time I have made the ‘Rakhi’ myself. I will also gift him (PM Modi) a book on agriculture as he is fond of reading. For the last 2-3 years, I was unable to go due to Covid, but this time I will meet him in person,” she told news agency ANI.

”I pray for him every day for his good health and long life. I believe that all my wishes come true. Earlier when I prayed for him to be the Chief Minister of Gujarat and he became,” she further was quoted as saying.

“Whenever I tied the Rakhi, I used to express my desire for him to become the Prime Minister. His response was always affirmative, saying that all your wishes will be fulfilled by God. He is doing commendable work for the country,” she added.

Shaikh had earlier said her first Raksha Bandhan with PM Modi was when he was an RSS worker.
