Modi calls Dalai Lama on his birthday, wishes him long and healthy life

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (July 6, 2021) spoke to Dalai Lama over phone and wished the Tibetan spiritual leader on his 86th birthday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared the news through his official Twitter account.

The Prime Minister said, “Spoke on phone to His Holiness Dalai Lama to convey greetings on his 86th birthday. We wish him a long and healthy life.”

This, notably, is a very significant development as for the first time a public announcement has come on PM Modi’s call to Dalai Lama on his birthday. No such public announcements were made in 2017 during the Doklam crisis or during the Galwan stand-off in 2020.

However, during his days as the chief minister of Gujarat, PM Modi used to regularly wish Dalai Lama.
