On Tuesday, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy shared a letter sent to him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday. Swamy posted the letter on his Twitter handle and said that it was nice of the Prime Minister to greet him using appropriate Sanskrit saying. In the letter, PM Modi had extended his heartiest greetings to Dr Swamy, adding that he hopes Swamy continues to use his 'rich and diverse' experience in public life towards the efforts of 'nation-building.'

The Prime Minister had written a Sanskrit saying, "prarthayamahe bhava shatayushi ishvaras-sada tvam cha rakshatu", which roughly translates to "May you live 100 years and May God protect you". Subramanian Swamy turned 81 on September 15, Tuesday.
