Last year, he celebrated Raksha Bandhan with the children of sweepers, peons, gardeners, and other staff members at the Prime Minister's Office.
Earlier today, he greeted the people of the nation on the occasion. “Happy Rakshabandhan to all my family members. This auspicious festival of Rakshabandhan, dedicated to the unbreakable trust and immense love between sister and brother, is a sacred reflection of our culture. I wish, this festival deepens the feeling of affection, harmony and harmony in everyone's life”, he tweeted in Hindi.
In 2023, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on the night of August 30 and the festival of Rakhi will not be celebrated the entire day or in the morning hours like previous years, but rather during the night hours.
Meanwhile, in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur, school girls and women tied rakhi on the wrists of CRPF jawans. Similarly, under a campaign “Thanks Jawan”, several women in Boniyar in Baramulla prepared rakhis for the soldiers.
