New Delhi, Sep 27 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid his rich tributes to Jayaprakash Narayan, Nanaji Deshmukh and Vijaya Raje Scindia during his “Man ki baat” session.
"11th of October is also a special day for us. This day, we remember Bharat Ratna Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan ji on his birth anniversary. JP played a pioneering role in safeguarding our Democratic values. We also remember Bharat Ratna Nanaji Deshmukh, whose birth anniversary is also on the 11th Nanaji Deshmukh was a close companion of Jayaprakash Narayan ji. When JP was fighting the crusade against corruption, a potentially fatal attack was carried out on him in Patna. It was Nanaji Deshmukh then, who took the blow onto himself," he said.
"Nanaji Deshmukh was grievously injured in this attack but he managed to successfully save the life of JP," he added.
