Uttar Pradesh: Muslim Family Names Child Born On The Day Of Poll Results After PM Modi

Showing their support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who won a landslide victory in recent Lok Sabha elections, a Muslim family of Parsapur Mahrarur village in Wazirganj has named their baby boy after him, reports Hindustan Times.

On Thursday, Mainaz Begum, 40, gave birth to a baby boy. When informed, her husband Mushtaq Ahmed working in Dubai, asked his wife to name the baby after Modi.

“After exchange of greetings through a video call, he (Mushtaq) asked me to name the baby as Narendra Damodardas Modi as his birth coincided with Modi’s victory in the Lok Sabha polls,” said a visibly elated Mainaz. Her father-in-law Mohammad Idris submitted the affidavit to the DM’s office.

When asked about the likely criticism from the community, Idris said, “Why should people oppose it? Modiji is our PM and this is something we take pride in. Secondly, naming the boy is our family’s decision.”
