Prayagraj, 28 Aug (HS): This is the beauty of India that all

festivals are celebrated together by Hindus and Muslims. For a decade, Rajni

Handa, the adopted sister of social worker Syed Mohammad Askari, used to tie

Rakhi every year on Rakshabandhan. Two years ago, she shifted to Rajasthan and

started sending Rakhi from there. This year too, not only did she send Rakhi

for Askari, but also sent a pearl bracelet for his wife. Meanwhile, SP Mahila

Sabha's Metropolitan President Manju Yadav also blessed Askari by applying

tilak on his forehead and tying a thread of love on his wrist. Gauri, Rinki

Sen, Geeta Kushwaha also tied Rakhi to Askari for the first time, considering

him as their brother. Askari accepted their love and respect by giving them

cash along with sweets and gifts.
