Twin girls invite Modi to Kashmir to help flood victims
Anantnag (PTI): A video made rounds on social media on Sunday, showing twin girls from Anantnag district inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the valley to see its beauty and help the flood victims.
Zainab and Zaiba, aged eight, from the Kokarnag area of the south Kashmir district, were filmed while they were interacting with BJP leader Ravinder Raina.
The politician was visiting the Jablipora Fruit Mandi to commiserate with the horticulture traders who had suffered huge losses due to the recent highway blockade caused by landslides.
The twins told Raina they wanted the Prime Minister to visit Kashmir and see its beauty.
"We wanted Modi to visit Kashmir because Kashmir is really beautiful. Modi's visit to Kashmir would have added to the valley's splendour," Zainab said, amid loud cheers from those around. "Our Kashmir is beautiful," she added.
When Raina asked them if they wanted to meet Modi, the little girls said "yes."
"We want that … he should come to our Kashmir in summer or when winter comes. We are requesting him once again," Zainab said.
"We have suffered huge losses. Our bridge was washed away in the rain. Apple traders and those who owned orchards suffered terrible losses," Zaiba said.
The twins also demanded a cold storage facility in the area to store fruits.
"There should be a store where fruits can be kept," one of them said.
"A cold store?" Raina asked, to which the girls nodded.
"We want to keep apples in those (stores) because apples are one of our fruits which the people of India also like," Zainab said.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," she said, sending everyone laughing.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
