Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah greeted veteran BJP leader L. K Advani on his 89th birthday on Sunday.
The Prime Minister had in an earlier tweet described Advani as his guide and inspiration.
He said, "Warmest birthday greetings to our guide and inspiration, the respected Shri LK Advani ji. I wish Advani ji a long life filled with best health."
"Advani ji's contribution to the country is invaluable. He has always been respected as a person of immense knowledge & integrity," Modi tweeted while hailing the former deputy prime minister.
"Personally, I have learnt so much from Advani ji. For Karyakartas like us, he is the best teacher and the epitome of selfless service," the Prime Minister said in another tweet.
