Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a poignant moment with the grieving family of Thiru Purna Chandran in Madurai, vowing parental care amid their loss. Speaking to IANS, Chandran’s mother Kalishwari detailed the emotional exchange, lauding the leader’s warmth.
The family, comprising Kalishwari’s daughter-in-law and grandsons, received a special invitation from the PM. Deeply moved, he offered sympathies over Chandran’s death during the Deepam festival. ‘He assured us of constant care like our own parents,’ Kalishwari shared gratefully.
BJP officials have provided relentless aid since the tragedy, a fact Kalishwari appreciated alongside thanks to well-wishers. On X, Modi recalled Chandran’s devotion to Lord Murugan, slamming the DMK regime’s callousness. Despite their actions, he affirmed, ‘Truth and devotees’ victory are inevitable.’
Chandran’s wife and children joined the respectful dialogue. The backdrop: Last December, defying court directives, authorities lit Deepam on Thiruparankundram hill, sparking Chandran’s fatal protest.
Modi’s post-meeting statement hammered home the theme of truth’s victory, spotlighting state mishandling. This personal outreach highlights leadership that bridges policy with human stories, fostering hope for the bereaved.
