'Service' is the basic mantra of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's life.
Manoj Muntashir looked quite impressed while talking about various incidents related to the life of the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Referring to the musical show prepared on the life of PM Modi, he said that there are many such qualities in the personality of the Prime Minister, but the one thing which has impressed him the most is his spirit of 'service'. Muntashir said that the Prime Minister continuously inspires the citizens of the country and he has made selfless service the conduct of his life. If his entire life and philosophy had to be described in just one word, that word would be 'service'. For him the principle of 'Seva Paramo Dev' is not just an idea, but the biggest truth of his life.
Opposition bluntly and passionately on Vande Mataram controversy
These days, Manoj Muntashir reacted in very strong words to the controversy over limiting the singing of 'Vande Mataram' to only two verses. Taking a direct aim at the opposition, he made it clear that the opposition leaders should immediately desist from such narrow politics. He said in a very strict tone that 'Vande Mataram' will be sung in its entirety and the entire song will have to be sung in all circumstances. In his well-known poetic and very enthusiastic style, he also read these lines from his poem – 'There was and is Suryavanshi self-respect in my veins, the saffron sky was and is from Sanatan itself, we call Shivaji and Nanak as father, we are ours, our father's Hindustan was and is.'
