New Delhi: Parul Singh, President of the Delhi Paralympic Committee, participated in the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ initiative with her family on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 76th birthday on Thursday. The family lit diyas and offered prayers for the Prime Minister’s health, longevity and continued service to the country.
The initiative encouraged families across Delhi to light a diya between 6 pm and 7 pm on September 17 as a gesture of blessings and good wishes for Prime Minister Modi. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had urged residents to take part in the programme.
Singh said the initiative gave families an opportunity to come together and express their good wishes for the Prime Minister.
“I wish Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji good health, long life and happiness on his birthday. I hope he continues to serve the country with the same dedication and, perhaps, continues to lead the nation in the years ahead. We lit the diya with these prayers and good wishes,” Singh said.
The ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ initiative formed part of the birthday celebrations and the month-long ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’, which started on September 17. Prime Minister Modi also acknowledged the initiative, saying the blessings and good wishes shared through the programme strengthened his resolve to continue serving the nation.
