New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday greeted veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Murli Manohar Joshi on his birthday.

Modi said Joshi made an inedible contribution to India during his active years in politics.

"Greetings to Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi Ji on his birthday. Joshi Ji has made an indelible contribution to our country during his long years in politics, Parliament and as a Minister. He is unwavering when it comes to safeguarding national interests and furthering national progress," PM Modi tweeted.

The PM said he is fortunate enough to have worked with him.

"I consider myself fortunate to have got the opportunity to work with Dr. Joshi for many years. Like me, several Karyakartas learnt so much from him. His role in strengthening the Party is extremely valuable. I pray for Dr. Joshi’s long and healthy life," he added.

Joshi was the president of BJP between 1991 and 1993, and the former Member of Parliament for Kanpur parliamentary constituency.

He was awarded Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award, in 2017 by the Government of India.
