The function was organized for a panel discussion on his biography "Anything But Khamosh" that was penned by Bharati Pradhan.

According to Shatrughan Sinha, he has been supporting the PM all through. He said, "I referred to him (Modi) (as) dashing, dynamic and now that dynamism of his needs to be supported."
