Maa…this isn’t a mere word: Modi writes emotional post, spends time with mother Heeraben on her birthday

New Delhi: Indian PM Narendra Modi marked his mother's birthday by visiting her residence in Gujarat's Gandhinagar on Saturday.

Heeraben entered the 100th year of her life.

Modi shared several images on Twitter where he could be seen spending time with Heeraben.

The Indian leader could be seen seeking her blessings and even washing her feet in the images shared on social media platforms.

Modi also wrote an emotional on his mother where he said: "Mother – is not just any other word in the dictionary. It encompasses a whole range of emotions – love, patience, trust, and a lot more."

"A mother not only gives birth to her children, but also shapes their mind, their personality, and their self-confidence. And while doing so, mothers selflessly sacrifice their own personal needs and aspirations," he said.

"Today, I feel extremely happy and fortunate to share that my mother Smt. Heeraba is entering her hundredth year. This is going to be her birth centenary year. If my father had been alive, he too would have celebrated his 100th birthday last week. 2022 is a special year as my mother’s centenary year is starting, and my father would have completed his," he said.
