Posting on X (Previously known as Twitter), Muntashir wrote, “After his mother's passing, PM @NarendraModi penned a 17-page letter for her. Every line was soaked in love, gratitude and memories. I got the opportunity to record them in my voice. While recording it, I was unable to hold back my tears.”

“That letter revealed how Hiraba was not just Narendra Modi's mother, but his guide, his strength, and his first teacher in life. What I thought would take only a few minutes stretched much longer. We had to pause after recording every two lines-the emotions were so overwhelming that my throat tightened with tears,” he added.
