Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pictures with his mother offering him sweets after he went to seek her blessings ahead of his swearing-in touched his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif and his mother too.

Modi shared his exchange of thoughts with Sharif during his swearing-in today at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Twitter.

"Nawaz Sharifji told me that he stays in Islamabad but goes to meet his mother once in a week. This time when he was eating with his mother he saw visuals on TV of my mother offering me sweets," Modi tweeted.

In another tweet, he said, "The visuals touched both Nawaz Sharifji & his mother. He told me that after seeing the visuals his mother got very emotional."
