September 14, 2014 18:56

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be turning 64 on September 17. However, instead of grand celebrations and parties, the PM has asked all his well-wishers and followers to instead focus and help the people affected by the Kashmir floods. In a series of tweets, Modi wrote, "I am hearing from different places that friends and well-wishers are planning various programmes and events for my birthday. My humble request is not to celebrate my birthday. Instead, dedicate yourselves towards relief work in J&K through your time and resources. The need of the hour is to stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers of Jammu and Kashmir."
