While discussing with him, my happiness increased even more when he offered me the delicious ‘Churma’ made by your hands.”

The PM further mentioned, “Neeraj often talks about this ‘Churma’ with me, but today, after tasting it, he became emotional. This gift of your immense love reminded me of my mother.”
