New Delhi, June 24

In a strong signal of enhanced people to people ties between India and Egypt, an Egyptian girl sang a super hit song from the 1975 Bollywood blockbuster Sholay to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he landed in Cairo on Saturday.

“Yeh dosti hum nahi todenge…chodenge dum magar tera saath na chhodenge…” sang the girl dressed in Indian attire and fineries with PM Modi listening in rapt attention in a now-viral video.

Modi landed in Cairo for the first bilateral by any Indian prime minister with his counterpart in 26 years.

As a special gesture of honour, the PM was received by the Egyptian PM Mostafa Madbouly at the airport.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
