Goa CM Parrikar misses birthday celebration for 1st time in 20yrs
Goa CM Manohar Parrikar, who's suffering from a pancreatic ailment, didn't celebrate his 63rd birthday on Thursday in public for the first time after becoming an MLA over two decades ago. "Since doctors have advised rest to the CM and he has been asked to avoid public contact, he'll not be stepping out...to celebrate," Goa BJP spokesman Siddharth Kunkolienkar said.
