DHAKA:  It was an emotional moment at Hotel Hyatt Residency in Kathmandu on Sunday afternoon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over his ‘godson’ Jeet Bahadur Saru Magar to his parents.

Jeet, who had been staying with Modi for over 15 years, had accompanied Modi on his Nepal visit.

“I never dreamt that I will come back to Nepal in this manner along with Modiji and be able to meet my family,” the elated 27-year-old told media persons soon after.

His family members, mother Khagisara, brother Dasrath and his wife and younger sister Prem Kumari had come to Kathmandu all the way from their village in Nawalparasi district.

The Indian embassy in Kathmandu had arranged for their stay and they were staying in the same hotel as Modi.

“It’s an amazing moment. I had just given birth to Jeet, but it is Modi who was kind enough to my son. He is very benevolent,” an emotional Khagisara said.

Nepali industrialist Binod Chaudhary who played a part in finding Jeet’s parents also expressed happiness at being witness to the family reunion.
