His presence in the exhibition was an ode to the valour and sacrifice of our soldiers. Indian Armed Forces in 1965 proved even with miscalculations and minor support, they protected the boundaries in those time.
The Prime Minister afterwards tweeted “The valour and sacrifice of our armed forces during the 1965 war remains etched in the memory of every Indian. We are very proud of them,”.
He greeted the people on the occasion of Samvatsari, Ganesh Chaturthi and Vishwakarma day.
He also paid homage to the sacrifices made by nationals for the merger of Hyderabad in the Union of India and remembered the exemplary role played by Sardar Patel for the cause.
Even he shared a painting on social media painted by his well-wisher from UAE Mr Akbar.
Every organisation and individuals from his party celebrated his birthday in unique and own way.
Sulabh international, an NGO declared his birthday as “Swacchhata Diwas” (Cleanliness Day) and one of the ministers called it a better way of celebration and also unveiled a 365kg of ‘laddu’. Saina Nehwal gifted her world championship racquet to PM as the gift. There were also “cleanliness awareness” rallies in Varanasi by some groups.
He thanked everyone who wished him and also shared thanking note on social media accounts.
In all, while our PM was commencing his official duties, his followers and party people were rejoicing his birthday.
