An Inspiring Story

Lal Bahadur Shastri never told his mother that he was the Railway Minister.
He told his mother that he works in the railways.

Once, Shastri ji came to the Railway Bhawan for some program.
His mother also reached there and asked about her son -and said he also works in the railways.
People asked what is his name.
When she told the name, everyone was shocked. 
The security officer said you are lying.
But she said, "No, he has come... he works here".

Some people took her to Lal Bahadur Shastri ji and asked, "Is it him?"
She said, "Yes, he is my son".
People asked the minister, "Is she your mother?"

Shastri ji called his mother - greeted her - and sent her home - saying he had work to do.

The journalists asked, "Why did you not give a speech in the presence of your mother?"

Shastri ji  said, "My mother does not know I am a minister.

If she comes to know, she will start recommending people, and I will not be able to refuse.
Moreover, she might become arrogant."
Everyone was stunned to hear this answer.

"Millions of salutations to the selfless, truthful, honest late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri on his birthday on 2 October.
