During the dark days of Emergency, Narendra Modi was actively involved in underground movement against the excesses meted out by the Congress government. Narrating an interesting encounter from 1975, Rohit Agrawal, a resident of Gujarat said, “Narendra Kaka evaded police by disguising himself as a Sardarji.”

Mr. Agrawal recounted the instance when Narendra Modi was stepping out of his house dressed as a Sardar and right at that moment police personnel had come searching for him. Agrawal said that just not the policemen but nobody in his house too could for at once recognise him as Narendra Modi.

Rohit Agrawal said, “In 1975, when Indira Gandhi had imposed Emergency, Narendra Kaka was staying disguised as Sardarji with us in Madhu Kunj, our home that time. Once he was stepping out dressed as Sardarji and policemen approached him and asked – Where does Narendra Modi live? Modi replied I don’t know. You may go inside and enquire. Narendrabhai let the police in and left on scooter with my brother. Not just the policemen, even we were deceived by Narendra Modi’s appearance.”

A heart-touching letter from PM Modi
December 03, 2024

For Divyang artist Diya Gosai, a moment of creativity turned into a life-changing experience. During PM Modi’s Vadodara roadshow on October 29th, she presented her sketches of him and H.E. Mr. Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Government of Spain. Both leaders stepped out to personally accept her heartfelt gift, leaving her overjoyed.

Weeks later, on November 6th, Diya received a letter from the PM praising her artwork and sharing how even H.E. Mr. Sánchez admired it. PM Modi encouraged her to pursue fine arts with dedication, expressing faith in the youth’s role in building a "Viksit Bharat." He also extended warm Diwali and New Year wishes to her family, showcasing his personal touch.

Overwhelmed with joy, Diya read the letter to her parents, who were elated that she brought such immense honour to the family. "I take pride in being a small part of our country. Thank you, Modi Ji, for giving me your love and blessings," said Diya, adding that receiving the letter from the PM deeply inspired her to take bold actions in life and empower others to do the same.

PM Modi’s gesture reflects his commitment to empowering Divyangs and recognising their contributions. From numerous initiatives like the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan to personal connections like Diya’s, he continues to inspire and uplift, proving that every effort matters in shaping a brighter future.
