On the special occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi will meet his special guest -- a Pakistani-origin woman, QamarMohsin Shaikh. Shaikh has been tying rakhi (protection thread) on PM Modi'swrist every year for over 30 years. Qamar tied her first Rakhi when he was aRashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker.

She said that Modi loved her more than her own brother.Qamar came to India after her marriage in India and has been living here sincethen. She met him during one of her visits to Delhi with her husband, who is apainter.“This year there is a special surprise for Modi ji. We are gifting hima huge painting -- based on the current situation of the country. This paintinghas been made by my husband. It’s similar to the gift we gave to Atal ji whenhe conducted a nuclear test in Pokhran,” she told India TV.

Hailing the government’s move of abrogation of Article 370,she said no one could have done what PM Modi has accomplished."He hasalways done what is in the interest of the country. No Muslim is threatened bythe scrapping of Article 370. I am also a Muslim and can claim that everythingis fine. Muslims are safe. It is for the betterment of Jammu and Kashmir,” sheadded.

Since this year's Raksha Bandhan is falling on IndependenceDay, PM Modi will first address the nation from the Red Fort. Following this,he will return to his residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, where he will celebrateRaksha Bandhan with Qamar.
