'Unexpected call just 30 minutes after cancer surgery'; Rajdeep Sardesai talks about PM Modi

Veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, known for being a fierce critic of Sangh politics, revealed how Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally called him after he underwent a cancer surgery. Sardesai said he was shocked as the call from the Prime Minister’s office was totally unexpected.

Sardesai said that the Prime Minister informed about his health update and even gave health tips for fast recuperation. It is said that the Prime Minister advised the veteran journalist to imbue a disciplined lifestyle and also asked him to remain positive despite challenging times.

The big revelation sparked debates on social media as Sardesai, who is unflinching in his stance and carries a distaste for the Sangh politics, seldom praises PM Modi. Rajdeep Sardesai have often been at the receiving end of cyber-attacks for his scathing attack on PM Modi over policy decisions and politics. However, the big revelation left many wondering about the statesmanship of PM Modi, who even took time to enquire about a journalist, whose ailment had remained totally concealed.

Despite being on the ideological opposite side, Sardesai praised PM Modi’s gesture as deeply thoughtful. The journalist said that the Prime Minister, through the phone call, sent a message that humanity should always remain on the top above ideological disagreements.
