Wayanad: A rather sweet and emotional moment was captured on camera in Kerala’s Wayanad when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met a nurse, who had witnessed his birth 51 years back. Notably, Rajamma Vavathil, one of the nurses who took care of Rahul when he was born on June 19, 1970 met him during his trip to Wayanad earlier this week and a video of their interaction has gone viral on Twitter.

Rajamma was on duty at Delhi’s Holy Family Hospital, when Rahul was born and she had even held him in her hands as a newborn. In the video, she calls Rahul his ‘son’ and gifts him a packet of sweets. She then proudly says ,”Nobody gave me permission to give you the sweets. This is my house (she said pointing at her house). I really wanted to meet you. Where are your security people. I want to tell them…He is my son. He was born in front of me. Before you could see him, I saw him.”

The heart warming video of Rajamma expressing her love towards the Congress leader was shared by the Congress party’s Kerala unit on Twitter with the caption, ”The wholesome love and affection from Rajamma Amma who was a nurse at Delhi’s holy family hospital where Shri @RahulGandhi was born”.
