Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother sets an example by exchanging old notes at Gandhinagar bank

Just like any other citizen, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 97-year-old mother Heeraben Modi too visited a bank at her village in Gandhinagar to exchange old notes in view of the demonetisation of the high currency notes to curb black money.

The frail lady reached a branch of the Oriental Bank of Commerce in a wheelchair to exchange currency worth Rs 4500 this morning. She was accompanied by relatives.

After coming to the bank with 500 notes, she filled the mandatory form, put her thumb impression on it and successfully exchanged her money.

After receiving the new Rs 2,000 note, she also displayed it in front of the media. In the process, Heeraben also unknowingly set an example for the rest of the citizens, with many on the internet applauding her simplicity.
