Seen as a good-will gesture when Indian PM, Modi decided to “drop by” Lahore to visit Pakistan PM, Nawaz Sharif; the Indian and Pakistani media were sent into frenzy- And as usual Twitterati were not far behind!
Spoke to PM Nawaz Sharif & wished him on his birthday.

Looking forward to meeting PM Nawaz Sharif in Lahore today afternoon, where I will drop by on my way back to Delhi.

Spent a warm evening with Sharif family at their family home. Nawaz Sahab’s birthday & granddaughter’s marriage made it a double celebration

True That!
Not Surprised That Congress Are Unhappy With #ModiInPakistan. They Barely Allowed Manmohan Singh To Even Go To Washroom On His Will.

Isn’t that so dumb yet precisely accurate?
India and Pakistan are the Ross and Rachel of international diplomacy.

Modi: This is the lunch of a lifetime and you’re serving me achaar? FFS! Nawaz: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INVITE YOURSELF OVER!
