Fathima Safa, a class 12 student at the Karuvarakundu GHSS in Malappuram, stole the limelight during the function attended by Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi.
On his three-day visit to the constituency, the MP reached the school for the inauguration of its newly-built science block of the Government Higher Secondary School, situated in Karuvarakundu in his constituency Wayanad. Hundreds of people were gathered at the school to catch a glimpse of the politician.

Before beginning his speech, Rahul Gandhi posed a question to the audience: “Can anyone translate my speech?” Safa Febin, a Class 12 science student, took up the task much to Rahul Gandhi’s surprise.
“Safa effortlessly translated Rahul Gandhi’s speech. She used appropriate words quickly. She stunned us all,” Vinod Karuvarakkundu, who teaches mathematics at the school, was quoted as saying by Onmanorama.
Safa not only received applause from the audience for her efforts, but Rahul Gandhi himself appreciated her along with other leaders.
Rahul Gandhi, who reached Kozhikode on Wednesday evening, will tour his constituency till Saturday.
