Showing their support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who won a landslide victory in recent Lok Sabha elections, a Muslim family of Parsapur Mahrarur village in Wazirganj has named their baby boy after him, reports Hindustan Times.
On Thursday, Mainaz Begum, 40, gave birth to a baby boy. When informed, her husband Mushtaq Ahmed working in Dubai, asked his wife to name the baby after Modi.
“After exchange of greetings through a video call, he (Mushtaq) asked me to name the baby as Narendra Damodardas Modi as his birth coincided with Modi’s victory in the Lok Sabha polls,” said a visibly elated Mainaz. Her father-in-law Mohammad Idris submitted the affidavit to the DM’s office.
When asked about the likely criticism from the community, Idris said, “Why should people oppose it? Modiji is our PM and this is something we take pride in. Secondly, naming the boy is our family’s decision.”

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
