Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation through his monthly radio broadcast, Mann Ki Baat, on Sunday. "There would hardly be anyone who does not show utmost regard for Lata Mangeshkar ji. She is elder to most of us and has been witness to different eras in the country. We address her as 'didi'. She turns 90 today," PM Modi said at the beginning of the broadcast. During the addressing, he called (phone-call) Legendary Singer Lata Mangeshkar, to give her pre-wishes (in a pre-recorded show), as she turns 90, this year. Prime Minister Modi said, “I am leaving to the United States, and hence, I won’t be here in India on your birthday, that’s why I am sending you wishes through phone call here.” Later PM Narendra Modi extended wishes to the nation over the upcoming festivals in October. He said, "The festival season has begun; we need to make the celebrations inclusive." While suggesting ideas to spread joy, PM Modi said, “On one hand, when we experience the ‘Delivery In’ of sweets, and gifts, let us think for a moment on the process of ‘Delivery Out’. At least in our homes, items that are in excess and thus, not required anymore, could be allocated for ‘Delivery Out.” While talking about the ban on e-cigarettes and e-hookahs, he said, “We all know that addiction to tobacco is extremely harmful to health and it becomes very difficult to get out of this addiction. People who consume tobacco are vulnerable to diseases like cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, etc.” Citing e-cigarettes as a danger, PM Modi said, “There is very little awareness among people about e-cigarettes. They are completely unaware of its danger and for this reason, sometimes e-cigarettes find their way into homes out of curiosity.” Also Read: PM Narendra Modi addresses the high-level meeting on Universal Health Coverage Feeling proud over the Sister Mariam Thresia, he addressed, “It is a matter of pride for every Indian that on this 13th October, His Holiness Pope Francis will declare Sister Mariam Thresia(founder of the Congregation of the Holy Family) a saint.
