New Delhi: In a move aimed at signalling Donald Trump's ‘popularity’ in India, a small group of his fans from the Hindu Sena group celebrated the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's 70th birthday today with a cake and balloons in the national capital.
A three-tiered cake was arranged by about 20 members of the right-wing Hindu Sena political group who also held a piece up to a photo of Trump while singing "Happy Birthday to You."
The celebrations were done under a tent decorated with balloons and posters of Trump. One of the posters showed him wearing a suit and holding a rifle.
Journalists were also invited by the party members to witness the event which was being held in a park in New Delhi.
Sena leader Vishnu Gupta said they were inspired by Trump's hard talk against Islamic militants, and called him the future "king of the United States."
This is the second event the group has staged for Trump in New Delhi. Last month, a dozen members lit a ritual fire and chanted mantras asking Hindu gods to help Trump win the U.S. presidential election.
