Happy to be present during the meeting."
Meanwhile, Lalita Gotani, while talking to The Assam Tribune after the meeting said, "It is a dream come true moment for my son and all of us at home. Overwhelmed with the gesture of the honourable Prime Minister sir even for a couple of minutes, my son who is a divyang expressed his feelings that meeting someone whom he watches on television and in newspapers was a great feeling indeed. PM sir asked about us and he wishes for my son's wellbeing. Our efforts and wishes to bring glory to Assam have been rewarded today, I thank our Chief Minister and also our DC Rohan Kumar Jha on this occasion. When my son met CM sir recently and presented him with a portrait he had expressed his wish to meet the honourable Prime Minister to which our CM sir had said "you will meet him pakka." I express my heartfelt thanks to Chief Minister sir for everything. I can feel what parents of other such divyang children go through as they sacrifice a lot for their children. Theymust support their divyang children at all levels."
