Modi Wishes Afghan Prez Ghani, This Time on His Real Birthday

Prime Minister Modi had wished the President of Afghanistan a happy birthday, three months early.

We are all aware of the blunder Prime Minister Modi made when he wished the President of Afghanistan a happy birthday, three months early.

Happy birthday @ashrafghani. Praying for your long life & exceptional health and a joyful journey ahead.

To which, Ghani politely responded:

@narendramodi Greetings from Munich Mr. PM. Although, my Birthday is on 19th May, but I'd still like to thank you for your gracious words :)

— Ashraf Ghani (@ashrafghani) February 12, 2016

What’s great is that our Prime Minister, with a little bit of humour, wished the Afghani President on the right day.

Happy Birthday President @ashrafghani…got the date right this time. :)

Ghani, complimenting Modi on being a dear friend and a great supporter, thanked India’s Prime Minister in Hindi, for his wish.

@narendramodi Bahut dhanyavaad Mr. PM. It's always a delight to hear from such dear friend of mine and a strong supporter of our people.

— Ashraf Ghani (@ashrafghani) May 19, 2016

We applaud PM Modi for using Social Media to the max, whether to wish a president or to communicate with the public.
