PM Modi Greets L.K. Advani as He Enters 100th Year

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, November 8, extended his greetings to veteran BJP leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani as he entered his 100th year.

Today, 8th November, is a landmark day. Respected L.K. Advani Ji enters his hundredth year. On this special occasion, my greetings to him. I’ve written an article in which I’ve highlighted his everlasting contribution to India. I have recalled his journey, be it experiencing the horrors of Partition and rebuilding life from scratch, strengthening the Jana Sangh and building the BJP, standing up for democracy during the Emergency, leading the Somnath to Ayodhya Rath Yatra or serving the nation in government. Have also written about other aspects of Advani Ji - the voracious reader, his love for culture and cinema, a prolific writer and more.
