Ahead of Raksha Bandhan on August 3 this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive a Rakhi to mark the occasion from his sister in Pakistan, Qamar Mohsin Sheikh.
Sheikh, who originates from Pakistan and married an Indian, has been tying Rakhi to PM Modi for more than two decades now. According to reports, Sheikh had met PM Modi while he was an RSS worker when she had visited Delhi with her husband. After her marriage, Sheikh has been settled in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Speaking to ANI, Mohsin Sheikh said that she will be praying for her brother, PM Modi, during these trying times, referring to the coronavirus pandemic.
