Mumbai: We all have either seen or heard stories about Jawaharlal Nehru's love for children. And, every year on November 14, we remember him for his fondness for the youngsters.
Incidentally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reminds us of Chacha Nehru, as children love to call the first prime minister of India, every time he breaks the security protocol to meet children waiting to greet him.
After concluding his Independence Day speech on Tuesday, Modi interacted with the school children, some of whom were dressed as Lord Krishna on the occasion of Janmashtami, and also shook hands with them.
The first time he broke the protocol to meet the children, joyously waiting for him, was in 2014, when he first addressed the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort in New Delhi after being elected as the prime minister.
As Modi proceeded to leave the 17th century monument after concluding his Independence Day address in 2014, he stopped his motorcade midway and reached out to the children.
And, ever since, he has ensured not to disappoint the young ones, who eagerly wait to shake hands with the Prime Minister before participating in the parade. Year after year, he has spent a few moments with them before witnessing the parade.
