CHENNAI: DMK president M. K. Stalin on Thursday greeted former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his 87th birthday, and lauded the Congress veteran's leadership in Parliament and politics.
The leader of Opposition took to Twitter to greet Singh. "I wish former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh a very happy birthday. Our country continues to benefit from Dr Singh's leadership in Parliament and politics," he said. "I wish him many more years in service to the country and its people. #ManmohanSingh," Stalin added. Singh, a Rajya Sabha member and one of Congress' top leaders, turned 87 on Thursday.
