New Delhi, May 23 (IANS): The news of a 15-year-old girl Jyoti Kumari taking her injured father to home in Bihar's Darbhanga -- 1,200 km from Gurugram, on a bicycle during the lockdown, has impressed US President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump.

Praising Jyoti, Ivanka on Friday shared the news on Twitter and said the "beautiful feat of endurance and love has captured the imagination of the Indian people and the cycling federation".

She tweeted: "15 yr old Jyoti Kumari, carried her wounded father to their home village on the back of her bicycle covering +1,200 km over 7 days. This beautiful feat of endurance & love has captured the imagination of the Indian people and the cycling federation!"

Responding to Ivanka, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said: "Her poverty and desperation are being glorified as if Jyoti rode 1,200 km for the thrill of it. Government failed her, that's hardly something to trumpet as an achievement."

Jyoti and her father lived in Gurugram in Haryana. Her father Mohan Paswan was injured in an accident during the lockdown, leaving him unable to go home.

Following this, on May 10, Jyoti left along with her father from Gurugram on a bicycle for Darbhanga. She arrived home on May 16.

People were stunned to learn about the plight, as well as courage displayed by Jyoti. Even Ivanka Trump was impressed and went on to share the news related to Jyoti.

    Everything can't be done by governments.. All along the history of human kind people showcased their exemplary skills either in inventing new things or achieving the one thought impossible. This is one such case. Let us just appreciate her. Let India possess more such boys and girls.

    Those who observe here also should think about why such achievements are happening in villages and not at cities. Cities are becoming a place to ditch elders. Commentators please note. your city is going to be a ditchers paradise.

    During Election time you all had enough money to shed that is Rs 5,000 for a single vote in some places. Now when the same people ask for the help you all sit in a air conditioned room, ignore their repeated requests. Receiving help at right time only will help the poor
    Mere announcement & giving hope will not help poor.

    The message of India's mismanagement has gone far and wide.

    Indian drama must be a dinner-time topic at Trump household.

    What a shame!

    The most pathetic is no-one wants to highlight the root cause for her journey and glorify the achievement.

    PM Modi addressing the nation earlier said "Thyag" - sacrifice by the poor migrants.

    Sacrifice is giving away when one can have it. But the present situation is Governments failed to do their part and made the poor suffer.
