In an emotional blog written on the 100th birthday of his mother Heeraben, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had referred to Abbas, the son of a father's friend. With this, the name Abbas started trending on social media. Yeh Abbasbhai currently lives with his son in Sydney, Australia.
Reader Parag Shah of Bhaskar, who has been living in Sydney for 20 years, had a special conversation with Abbasbhai. This is the first time that Bhaskar is introducing you to Abbasbhai. Abbasbhai said in this special conversation, 'I am a resident of Kesimpa village near Vadnagar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned my name, it is correct.
I studied at Hiraba's house in Vadnagar. My name is Abbas. Nowadays people do not remember anyone. In such a situation, Narendra Bhai and Hiraba remembered me, it is a matter of pride for me.
When he returned from Hajj, he had brought the holy water of Zamzam for Hiraba.
Abbasbhai told- 'I had gone to Haj in the year 2014. After returning from there, he went to meet Hiraba. On that day I had given Hiraba the Jannatul Firdous perfume and the holy water of Zamzam brought from there. Hiraba was overjoyed.
Abbasbhai stayed with Hiraba after his father's death
Abbasbhai said- 'My father and Narendra Modi's father Damodar Kaka were firm friends. My school was in Vadnagar. After the death of my father, my elder brother spoke to Damodar's uncle about my troubles. Damodar Kaka said send Abbas to my house. I will keep him at my home, teach him and take care of him. For me, Pankaj is like Abbas.
Narendra Modi's younger brother Pankaj Modi used to study in the same school as Abbasbhai, in the same class. Because of this, both became good friends. This friendship continues even now.
Passed the matriculation examination by staying near Hiraba
Abbasbhai passed the matriculation examination from Vadnagar in the year 1973-74 by staying at Hiraba's house. He told- 'After passing matriculation, I went to Visnagar for further studies. Later from there, he studied in Mansa and Ahmedabad. After getting a government job, he became permanent with the family. Even before I stayed at Hiraba's house, Narendra Modi did not live at home. So there were not many meetings with him. Pankajbhai also came to meet me recently.
Modi had said- Mother used to look after Abbasbhai
