Varanasi\u00a0(Uttar Pradesh) : Continuing with their annual ritual, members of the Muslim\u00a0Women\u00a0Foundation (MWF) in\u00a0Varanasi\u00a0are making rakhis for Prime Minister\u00a0Narendra Modi\u00a0on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan which falls on Sunday.
\nNazima Ansari, one of the MWF members said, “The Muslim women from our foundation living in Banaras (also known as\u00a0Varanasi) had first sent rakhi to Prime Minister\u00a0Narendra Modi\u00a0ji in 2013. Since then, this ritual has been continuing.”
\nAnsari said that the women at the MWF consider him as an elder brother and father-like figure. She said, “We consider\u00a0Narendra Modi-ji as an elder brother and father-like figure. Hence, like every year, we are sending him rakhi this year too with a hope that he would continue to protect us and help us at the time of need.”
\nSupplementing Ansari’s point of view, another woman of the foundation Shabana Fatima said, “We seek Prime Minister Modi’s help to protect us from atrocities we face in our own house and society. Moreover, we hope he would get us freedom from malpractices like Triple Talaq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
