Raksha Bandhan: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra posts heartfelt wish for Rahul Gandhi, shares childhood pics

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra shared a heartfelt wish for her brother and leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. Along with her message, she posted a collage featuring their childhood photographs, including one with their father and former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi.

The collage also included a black-and-white image of Rahul and Priyanka enjoying playtime together in a small toy car. In her post, Priyanka likened the sibling bond to a vibrant flowerbed where cherished memories, shared experiences, and an ever-growing friendship thrive, all rooted in mutual respect, love, and understanding.

“The relationship between a brother and a sister is like a flowerbed in which memories of different colors, stories of togetherness and the resolve to deepen the friendship flourish on the foundation of respect, love and mutual understanding. Brothers and sisters are companions in struggle, companions of memories and also boatmen of companionship,” she said in a post in Hindi on X.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi also extended his greetings to the nation on Raksha Bandhan, emphasizing the unbreakable bond of love and affection between siblings. He marked the occasion by sharing a picture of himself and Priyanka together.

“Many congratulations and best wishes to all the countrymen on the festival of Rakshabandhan, the festival of unbreakable love and affection between brother and sister. May this thread of protection always keep your sacred relationship strong,” he said.

Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, falls on Monday, August 19 this year. This traditional Hindu festival celebrates the special bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi around their brothers’ wrists, and in return, brothers present gifts as a token of their love and care.

The rakhi symbolizes the brothers’ promise to safeguard their sisters from any harm or adversity, emphasizing the protective nature of their relationship.
