Sitting by the side of an ailing Sonia, Rahul all praise for nurse from Kerala – The Tribune

Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has come out in fulsome praise of a nurse from Kerala for her dedication to her work as she tended to his mother in a New Delhi hospital.

“While the whole world sleeps, women from Keralam, not only in Keralam but also in Delhi, across the country, and around the world, are comforting people, holding their hands, and making them feel at ease. For me, this is the spirit of the state of Keralam,” Gandhi wrote on X on Wednesday.

Here’s the full text of his X post:

“Last night, I was sleeping on a small sofa in my mother’s room at the hospital, and like any son, I was extremely worried about her health.

The whole night, I was comforted by only one thing. I was comforted by a nurse from Keralam who came in every hour to check on my mother. Every single hour, she would come and check on her. She would smile, and she would hold her hand. I found myself thinking about how many sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters have been comforted in their most difficult moments by nurses from Keralam.

Early in the morning, I asked her, ‘Do you sleep at night, or do you work the whole night?’ And she said, ‘I work all night.’ So, while the whole world sleeps, women from Keralam, not only in Keralam but also in Delhi, across the country, and around the world, are comforting people, holding their hands, and making them feel at ease.

For me, this is the spirit of the state of Keralam,” Gandhi wrote.
