@ashrafghani @narendramodi This is what happens when the internet becomes the 'source' of 'information.' Happy b'day in advance though :)

But soon Ghani replied saying his birthday falls on May 19 and not on February 12, leading to fun-filled reaction on the social media. President Ghani, who replied from Munich, nevertheless thanked PM Modi for his wish.

Some said over-reliance on Google could have led to the mistake as Ghani's birth date is shown as February 12 on the search engine.
