Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra applauded a Muslim family in Wayanad on Saturday for caring for an elderly Hindu woman and performing her traditional Hindu funeral rites.
Eighty-five-year-old Kalyanikutty Amma passed away in Chithragiri, Muppainad, on November 10, leaving behind no children or close relatives to manage her final affairs.
Her compassionate Muslim neighbours, brothers Razak and Sulaiman, stepped forward and lovingly tended to the octogenarian throughout her vulnerable final years.
Honouring Amma’s explicit final wish, the devoted brothers arranged and executed her last rites strictly according to traditional Hindu customs.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra telephoned Razak directly to express her deep gratitude, calling their selfless act an inspiring story of humanity that the entire nation needs to hear.
Her office released an official statement praising how Razak and his family nurtured Kalyanikutty Amma with genuine affection, fulfilling every duty as if she were their own mother.
The Wayanad parliamentarian emphasized that bidding her farewell according to her own religious traditions demonstrated profound respect and unconditional love.
She noted that such heartwarming brotherhood, which effortlessly transcends religious boundaries, represents the exact spirit of unity that citizens across India truly aspire toward.
Priyanka declared that the family’s remarkable compassion brought immense pride to her constituency and set a shining moral example for the entire country.
The Congress leader wrapped up her four-day tour of Wayanad on Saturday after visiting several local institutions and interacting warmly with residents.
