Amit Shah celebrates Raksha Bandhan with girls who are suffering from Type-1 diabetes

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah celebrated the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan in Ahmedabad with girls from his parliamentary constituency who are suffering from Type-1 diabetes.

Shri Shah in his post on ‘X’ said, Today, in Ahmedabad, I celebrated the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan with the daughters in my parliamentary constituency who are suffering from Type-1 diabetes. Children afflicted with Type-1 diabetes require insulin injections for life, which places a significant financial burden on their families. Under the leadership of Modi ji, our government is providing free insulin for life to all such children. This visionary initiative, which even many developed nations are currently striving to implement, is a testament to the Modi government’s commitment to the principles of ‘Service, Compassion, and Security’.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Shah said, “For the Modi government, public service is not merely a responsibility but the guiding principle of compassionate governance.” Only when the health of daughters is secure will the future of the family and society be secure. This initiative to provide free insulin to daughters on the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan also symbolizes our commitment to the protection and health of daughters.
