“The birthdays of Congress leaders Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi fall on the exact dates as “World Deaf and Dumb Day,” the release of “Mera Naam Joker,” and International Anti-corruption Day, while Narendra Modi’s birthday coincides with Vishwakarma Jayanthi”
What FACTLY found
It is a fact that Sonia Gandhi’s birthday and Narendra Modi’s birthday coincide with International Anti-Corruption Day and Vishwakarma Jayanthi respectively. However, Manmohan Singh’s birthday which is 26 September is world Deaf and Dumb day according to few news reports while this is not listed in the International days and weeks list of the UN. The birthday of Rahul Gandhi does not fall on the exact date as the release of “Mera Naam Joker.”
