 PM Modi joins Afghan envoy's Twitter chat about Indian doctor. Shares a message....

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday joined a Twitter conversation with Afghanistan's Ambassador to India Farid Mamundzay and said the experience he has shared about his interaction with an Indian doctor carries the "fragrance" of ties between the two countries.

In a series to tweets in Hindi, the Afghan envoy had recounted his recent experience of interacting with an Indian doctor. He said when the doctor came to know that he is from Afghanistan, he refused to take any fee.

"When I asked him the reason, he told me that there is very little he can do for Afghanistan. He said he will not charge his brother. I was at a loss of words to express my gratefulness. This is India: Love, respect, values and compassion. Afghans cry a little less due to you, and smile a bit more and feel much better," the Afghan envoy tweeted.

These tweets were posted on Wednesday and went viral on Twitter. A Twitter user Balkaur Singh Dhillon invited the envoy to visit his village Haripura.

To this, the ambassador asked if he was speaking of a village by this name in Gujarat's Surat.

Dhillon said the Haripura village he mentioned was in Hanumangarh in Rajasthan near the border with Punjab.

"The experience with a doctor of my India that you have shared carries the fragrance of the India-Afghanistan relations," the prime minister wrote.

Thanking PM Modi for his tweet, the Afghan envoy said good friends are like stars, which one may not always see but knows that they are around. This is also the story of the relations between the two countries, he added.

"Thanks to the honourable prime minister for giving his time. It is another example of this old and deep ties," he tweeted, replying to Modi's post.
