Narendra Modi wishes Sonia Gandhi on her 69th birthday

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday greeted Congress President Sonia Gandhi on her 69th birthday.

"On her birthday, greetings to Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi. May Almighty bless her with long life and good health," Modi tweeted.

The greetings came even as the Congress President is facing the heat in the National Herald case. The Patiala House Court has asked Sonia and her son Rahul to appear before it on December 19.

Calling the case a political vendetta, the Congress party stalled the Parliamentary proceedings and took on to the streets.

President Pranab Mukherjee also extended his warm wishes to Sonia. "Warm greetings and good wishes to Smt. Sonia Gandhi on her birthday. During her long span of public life, Smt. Sonia Gandhi has rendered immense service to the country. May the Almighty bless Smt. Gandhi with good health, happiness and many more years of dedicated service to the nation."
