The exchange of greetings came days after a war of words broke out following Modi's comments that Pakistan was involved in a "proxy war" against India.

Pakistan had termed Modi's comments as "baseless rhetoric" which was strongly criticised by External Affairs Ministry.

In a strong rebuttal, the External Affairs Ministry said terrorism was a "core concern" in its bilateral ties with Pakistan and its "tool kit" is not restricted in any manner to combat it effectively.
