Dr Andrabi said after seven decades, we have a government at the centre which searches for the deserving for every felicitation.
“It was Modi himself who talked about the noble cause of Zeba Aapa Institute & also the contribution of Javed Ahmad Tak for education & sustenance of the children with special abilities in his Mann Ki Baat programme. Later the Government of India awarded him with the prestigious civilian award Padmashree in recognition of his services. Such people are undoubtedly inspiring and we need to respect them so that their noble mission spreads around,” said Dr Andrabi.
