In a bizarre claim, a coaching institute has mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi among the list of freedom fighters, among other prominent personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore and Mangal Pandey. Modi was born on September 17, 1950, which is three years after India received independence from British rule. In 2014, the BJP leader became the first prime minister to be born after independence. The book also mentions some of Modi’s quotes like “Mai bhi chowkidaar”, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”, Jai Vigyaan, Jai Anusadhan”.
