‘Most inspiring was PM Modi’s appeal to plant trees to honour mother’: Bansuri Swaraj on Mann Ki Baat

New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popular radio show - 'Mann Ki Baat' resumed on Sunday, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said that the the most inspiring thing was the appeal made by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi to plant one tree in the name of mother.
"The most inspiring thing was the appeal made by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi to plant one tree in the name of Mother. Not only do you express your affection towards your mother but by doing this, you also protect the environment," the BJP leader said.
Union Minister and BJP National President JP Nadda along with Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva and other party leaders listened to PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat program in Delhi on Sunday.
PM Modi on Sunday spoke about the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign launched on World Environment Day, appealing to the citizens and people worldwide to join the tree plantation initiative with their mothers to celebrate both motherhood and the environment.
While addressing the nation in his 111th episode of the 'Mann Ki Baat' programme on Sunday PM Modi said that with the thought of doing something for our Mother, the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign was launched across the country on the occasion of World Environment Day on June 5 which is progressing rapidly.
"If I ask you which is the most precious relationship in the world, you will definitely say - 'Mother'. In all our lives, the status of 'mother' is the highest. A mother nurtures her child despite facing every pain. Every mother shows affection for her child. This love of the mother who gave birth to us is like a debt on all of us which no one can repay. We cannot give anything to Mother, but can we do anything else? With this thought in mind, a special campaign has been started on World Environment Day this year, the name of this campaign is - 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam'. I have also planted a tree in the name of my mother," he said.
"I have appealed to all my countrymen, people of all the countries of the world to plant a tree along with their mother or in her name. I am very happy to see that the campaign of planting trees in the memory or honour of Mother is progressing rapidly," the Prime Minister added. (ANI)
