A wonderful gesture, especially planting a sapling on International Day of Forests. It's a perfect blend of spiritual duty and environmental responsibility. More public figures should lead by example like this.

While I respect the President's personal faith, I hope her official schedule also includes substantive visits to review pressing issues in Uttar Pradesh, like infrastructure or education. The role should balance symbolism with governance.
