Amit Shah marks Raksha Bandhan in Mumbai and Ahmedabad

Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Saturday, where Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar marked Raksha Bandhan by tying a rakhi on his wrist. The minister was greeted by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde upon his arrival.

Pawar later shared the encounter on social media, describing the gesture as a celebration of the sacred festival while highlighting Shah's ongoing guidance for Maharashtra's development. This visit follows a separate celebration held by the minister in Ahmedabad on Friday, where he spent the holiday with children diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes.

During his time in Ahmedabad, Shah emphasized the federal government's commitment to supporting families burdened by the lifelong cost of insulin injections. He announced that the administration under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now providing free, lifelong insulin access to all children suffering from the condition. Shah described the initiative as a reflection of the government's focus on empathy and public service, noting that the program exceeds the social support structures currently found in many developed nations. His previous engagement in Mumbai occurred on August 8, when he inaugurated the new headquarters for the National Urban Co-operative Finance and Development Corporation Limited.
