Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP Working President JP Nadda and Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, went to BJP supremo LK Advani’s residence to greet him as the leader turned 92 on Friday, 8 November.
In a series of tweets, PM Modi had earlier wished Advani on Twitter, highlighting the BJP leader’s contribution towards empowering Indian citizens. “On his birthday, I convey my greeting to respected Advani ji and pray for his long and healthy life.”
"For Advani Ji, public service has always been associated with values. Not once has he compromised on the core ideology. When it came to safeguarding our democracy, he was at the forefront. As a minister, his administrative skills are universally lauded," PM Modi tweeted.
Advani, who co-founded the Bharatiya Janata Party, was the BJP’s longest serving president. He was born on 8 November 1927 in Karachi, in undivided India.
