February 13, 2016 09:19

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's penchant for greeting his fellow world leaders on micro-blogging site Twitter backfired on Friday after he mistakenly wished Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani Happy Birthday; three months too early.

"Happy birthday @ashrafghani. Praying for your long life and exceptional health" tweeted Modi.

President Ghani responded to the tweet with good humour. "@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 :)"tweeted the Afghan leader, who is currently in Munich.
