NEW DELHI: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to know that Adithya Suresh, a Malayali who won the PM Rashtriya Bal Puraskar, was a singer, he wanted to listen to the boy's song. When Adithya sang the song 'Tere Mere Beech Mein...', the Prime Minister applauded him and gave him gifts, including a tab. Initially, when the Prime Minister spoke in Hindi, Adithya replied that he did not know Hindi. Adithya said that the Prime Minister playfully gave him a pinch on the head and told him not to say that he does not know the national language anymore and that he should learn Hindi. Adithya is a child with brittle bone disease. Union Minister Smriti Irani, who attended the function, came to Bengali Street and had a meal together with the Rashtriya Bal Puraskar awardees, including Adithya.
