PM Modi extends greetings on International Women's Day
PM Modi who a couple of days ago had said that he will 'give-up' his social media accounts for women on the occasion of International Women's Day on Sunday (today) took to his Twitter and wrote, "As I’d said a few days ago, I’m signing off. Through the day, seven women achievers will share their life journeys and perhaps interact with you through my social media accounts."
"Greetings on International Women’s Day! We salute the spirit and accomplishments of our Nari Shakti. India has outstanding women achievers in all parts of the nation. These women have done great work in a wide range of sectors. Their struggles and aspirations motivate millions. Let us keep celebrating the achievements of such women and learning from them. #SheInspiresUs," PM Modi said.
