New Delhi, Sep 17 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Hiraben, 90, gave his son Rs. 5,000 on the occasion of his 64th birthday on Wednesday to be donated to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for the flood-hit victims in Jammu and Kashmir, reports said.

The birthday gift came to the PM as he went to Gandhinagar seeking blessings of his mother. He drove the 23-km from Ahmedabad to his mother’s residence in a lone vehicle without any security cover and convoy.

President Pranab Mukherjee and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also offered birthday wishes to Modi early on Wednesday morning, sources said.

The PM’s birthday dinner will be held on the banks of the river Sabarmati. Chinese President Xi Jinping, who began his India visit on Wednesday by heading straight to Gujarat before arriving in Delhi, will also be present at the occasion.

Xi Jinping is the first Chinese head of state to visit India in past eight years.
