By Express News Service

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had instructed his cabinet colleagues to not cancel any pre-scheduled official programmes on account of the demise of his mom Hiraben Modi on Friday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh mentioned.

After inaugurating the ninetieth Sivagiri pilgrimage at Varkala in Thiruvananthapuram, Rajnath condoled the demise of Modi’s mom and mentioned he had initially considered skipping the programme and speeding to Delhi after listening to the information of her demise.

“The PM said no one should cancel their pre-scheduled programmes and to return only after attending them,” Rajnath mentioned. After Rajnath’s handle, the assembly noticed a minute’s silence and prayed for the departed soul.

Hiraben handed away in a non-public hospital in Gandhinagar on Friday. Barely hours after he laid his mom to relaxation, Modi returned to performing his official duties.

The PM just about attended two back-to-back conferences — flagging off the brand new Vande Bharat Express between Howrah and New Jalpaiguri and chairing the assembly of the National Ganga Council — by video conferencing after performing the final rites.
