The Prime Minister acknowledged their efforts and said that he was moved by the gift marking mother's day: "There are two men here who have made two portraits. They have been standing while holding up the sketches. Your arms will pain, brothers. You have drawn portraits of my mother with so much love."
He then requested the Special Protection Group (SPG) commandos to collect the portrait of his mother brought as gifts from the men. "You write your name and address at the back of the portraits. I will write back to you. I want to thank both of you," he said.
