Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing an event in Jammu at the Maulana Azad Stadium on Tuesday, paused his speech to ask one of the audience members not to bother a child. The Prime Minister noticed the man lifting a baby to seek blessings from him. Upon seeing this, PM Modi requested him to set the baby down and not to bother him during the cold weather. 

“Don’t bother the little girl, she is a small doll. If you were here I would have given him all the blessings. But please don’t bother her during this cold weather”, the prime minister was heard saying. 

PM Modi reached the winter capital Jammu to launch multiple development projects, including those related to education, railway, aviation, and road sectors.

He later continued and said, "In December 2013, when I had participated in BJP's Lalkar rally here, I raised the question of why educational institutions like IIT and IIM cannot be built in Jammu. We fulfilled those promises and today there is IIT and IIM in Jammu. That is why people 'Modi ki guarantee yani guarantee pura hone ki guarantee".
