Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 64
New Delhi, Sept 17 (IBNS): India's 15th Prime Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongman Narendra Modi turned 64 years on Wednesday.
While, lavish birthday celebrations are must for almost all politicians, the Prime Minister on Sunday urged people not to celebrate his special day and instead help flood victims in Jammu and Kashmir.
"My humble request- do not celebrate my birthday. Instead, dedicate yourselves towards relief work in J&K through your time & resources," Modi tweeted.
"The need of the hour is to stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
The BJP workers across the country had earlier lined up huge celebrations to mark the birthday of their leader.
However, Modi's tweets are expected to have a sobering effect on the party workers who otherwise wanted to make it a grand day especially after the historic win of the BJP led by the Prime Minister himself in the 15th Lok Sabha elections earlier this year.
