"Mother and sister never share even when they are suffering from a serious disease. They bear pain but do not tell their children about their ailment.

By giving them Ayushman cards, we have opened the doors to hospitals to get treatment of the most serious diseases," PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister noted that the Budget Session was started by a woman President and the Budget was presented by a woman Finance Minister.
