In a gesture that speaks of the warmth Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif carried back home after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sharif has sent a white sari for the mother of his Indian counterpart, who had gifted a shawl to the Pakistani leader’s mother.
Modi was quick to thank Sharif for the gift. “Nawaz Sharifji has sent a wonderful white Sari for my mother. I am really grateful to him & will send it to my mother very soon,” Modi tweeted.
This is not the first time Modi has spoken about Sharif on his Twitter handle. Sharif, Modi tweeted, was touched by visuals of his mother offering him sweets when he left for Delhi to take the office of PM.
“The visuals touched both Nawaz Sharifji and his mother. He (Sharif) told me after seeing the visuals, his mother got very emotional,” Modi tweeted.
Modi had sent a shawl for Sharif’s mother after which the daughter of the Sharif — Maryam Nawaz Sharif — tweeted, “Thank u v much PM @narendramodi for the beautiful shawl for my grandmother. My father personally delivered it to her.”
